Mimesis Museum, Paju Book City, Republic of Korea, 2009 designed by Alvaro Siza + Castanheira & Bastai Arquitectos Associados + Jun Sung Kim

Form will be given by cast concrete, light grey, the colour of a cat. Inside, the white of the walls and ceilings, of the marble, which we hope will be from Estremoz and also the honey colour of Oak. Timber for the internal frames, and glass. As for the external windows, timber, painted steel and crystalline glass. -- ArchDaily

Ordos Art & City Museum, Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China, 2011 designed by MAD Architects

.... an amorphous building that seems like it has landed on the earth. The structure is wrapped in polished metal louvers to reflect and dissolve the planned surroundings. This results in a solid, windowless, building firmly anchored to the ground. This shell encloses a interior totally separate from the urban reality. -- ArchDaily

Puur Pavilion, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2012 designed by emma Architecten

Paviljoen Puur is located on the exact site of a former soldiers shelter. The footprint of this shelter was taken as the basis for the pavilion. Around its base a wooden wall curves up to protect the site and encompass the program. The design is inspired by the undulating forms of the slopes and the surrounding landscape. Openings in the sloping wall give views of the gun bays, a terrace and the direction of the island Pampus, the next fortress of defence line. -- ArchDaily

Museum MUMAC, Milan, Italy, 2012 designed by Arkispazio

The facades of the museum are covered with strips of metal “red Cimbali”, sinuous and enveloping to resemble the waves of hot coffee, which at night filters the artificial light creating a striking illuminated reticle that evokes the energy of MuMAC. -- ArchDaily

Shining Lighthouse in Belfort, Belfort, France, 2012 designed by Archi5

The facade has a flexible movement along the landscape and recalls the dynamism of sports activities. Concave and convex folds react to straight lines. A translucent glass covers the building allowing the entrance of natural light. At night, the building becomes a bright beacon that reflects the events that take place within it. It is firmly anchored to the hillside and the glass fits perfectly into the artificial topography. In turn, the glass appear to be separated, almost floating. -- ArchDaily
