The Rise of Health-Conscious Interior Design: Enhancing Wellness and Safety

In recent decades, Asia has taken the lead in global skyscraper development, with its cities now home to some of the tallest and most advanced buildings in the world. This surge in skyscraper construction reflects not only the region’s rapid economic growth but also its ambition to push the boundaries of architecture and urban development. From iconic projects such as Shanghai Tower in China and Taipei 101 in Taiwan to Petronas Towers in Malaysia and Lotte World Tower in South Korea, Asian skyscrapers are reimagining the possibilities of high-rise construction.These towering structures are reshaping urban skylines and becoming symbols of national identity and progress. However, their development comes with complex challenges—environmental sustainability, structural resilience in disaster-prone areas, and the need to integrate them into already dense urban landscapes.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/0141188c2919d84a809c9d74eeb37bfe.jpg">Asia’s Rapid Rise in Skyscraper DevelopmentSkyscraper construction in Asia has been driven largely by rapid urbanization and economic growth. Cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Seoul, and Kuala Lumpur have experienced unprecedented population booms, necessitating vertical growth due to limited land availability. This has led to an architectural race to build higher and smarter, with developers and architects looking to create iconic buildings that reflect both modernity and cultural heritage.For instance, Taipei 101, once the tallest building in the world, blends contemporary engineering with traditional Asian aesthetics. Its design is based on the shape of a bamboo stalk, symbolizing resilience and growth. Similarly, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur draw on Islamic art for their design, representing Malaysia’s cultural and religious roots. These buildings go beyond mere height; they are powerful statements of a city’s identity and ambitions.At the same time, Asia's embrace of skyscrapers is also a response to its evolving economic status. Cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen have emerged as global financial hubs, necessitating large, multifunctional skyscrapers to accommodate the needs of international businesses, luxury hotels, and high-end residences. The Shanghai Tower, for example, serves as a mixed-use development, housing offices, hotels, and retail spaces, all within its 632 meters. Its twisted shape also reduces wind loads, an example of the sophisticated engineering solutions employed to make these buildings more resilient.Challenges in Asian Skyscraper DevelopmentDespite the growing number of skyscrapers, the construction of these massive buildings presents a unique set of challenges. From environmental sustainability to natural disaster resistance, developers in Asia must navigate a complex web of constraints to bring these towering structures to life.1. Environmental Impact and SustainabilityOne of the most pressing issues in skyscraper development, especially in a region as densely populated as Asia, is the environmental impact of these structures. The energy consumption of tall buildings can be immense, particularly in regions where air conditioning is necessary year-round. High-rise buildings also contribute to urban heat islands, where cities become significantly warmer than their rural surroundings due to concentrated human activities.To address these concerns, many Asian skyscrapers are now incorporating advanced green technologies. Buildings like the Lotte World Tower in Seoul and the Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Features such as high-efficiency glass, rainwater harvesting systems, and smart lighting and air conditioning systems help reduce the environmental footprint of these skyscrapers.Additionally, some buildings incorporate renewable energy sources. The Shanghai Tower, for example, includes wind turbines near its top floors to generate power for the building. The tower also uses double-layered glass, which reduces the need for heating and cooling, further minimizing its energy consumption. These innovations are setting new standards for sustainable skyscraper design, not just in Asia but globally.2. Earthquake and Wind ResistanceAsia is home to some of the most seismically active regions in the world, with countries like Japan, China, and Taiwan regularly experiencing earthquakes. In response, skyscrapers in these regions must be designed with advanced seismic engineering to withstand the stresses of earthquakes.One common solution is the use of tuned mass dampers—massive weights installed at the top of skyscrapers that counteract the sway caused by high winds or earthquakes. Taipei 101 is famous for its 660-ton damper, which allows the building to withstand typhoons and earthquakes, making it one of the safest skyscrapers in the world. Additionally, buildings in seismic zones often use base isolators, which allow the structure to move independently of the ground during an earthquake, reducing the forces transmitted to the building.Wind is another significant challenge, especially for tall buildings like the Shanghai Tower and Ping An Finance Centre in Shenzhen. These skyscrapers are designed with aerodynamic features that help reduce wind load. The spiral shape of the Shanghai Tower, for instance, decreases wind resistance, reducing the building’s sway and making it more stable in high winds.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/3f4a0631b925c0e39b271f6f4227cecc.jpg">3. Urban Density and Infrastructure IntegrationAsia’s rapid urbanization has resulted in densely packed cities, where land is scarce, and the need for efficient use of space is critical. The integration of skyscrapers into these dense urban fabrics presents challenges related to transportation, utilities, and public services.Effective urban planning is essential to ensure that these towering structures do not overwhelm existing infrastructure. Skyscrapers must be carefully integrated into the city's transportation networks, providing easy access to public transport while minimizing traffic congestion. Many Asian cities, such as Tokyo and Hong Kong, have developed intricate underground networks that connect skyscrapers directly to metro stations and shopping malls, providing seamless connectivity for residents and workers.Furthermore, as cities continue to expand vertically, there is a growing focus on mixed-use developments. Skyscrapers like the Ping An Finance Centre in Shenzhen are designed to serve multiple functions, including offices, hotels, residential apartments, and retail spaces. This multifunctional approach maximizes the use of limited urban space and creates self-contained vertical cities, reducing the strain on urban infrastructure.4. Economic ViabilityConstructing and maintaining skyscrapers involves significant financial investment. The sheer cost of building such massive structures can be prohibitive, particularly in cities where land and construction costs are high. Developers must ensure that these projects are economically viable by attracting tenants, investors, and tourists.Many skyscrapers in Asia are designed to be multifunctional to generate multiple revenue streams. For example, the Lotte World Tower in Seoul includes luxury residences, office spaces, hotels, and observation decks, attracting a wide range of tenants and visitors. Similarly, the Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre combines office spaces with residential units and a five-star hotel, ensuring its financial viability by diversifying its use.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/a4500df0deff7b8528907dbc46a6b08e.jpg">Global Comparisons: Asia vs. Other Architectural GiantsWhile Asia is leading the way in skyscraper construction, comparisons with other global architectural hubs, such as New York and Dubai, offer valuable insights. Skyscrapers like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and The Shard in London have set global standards for height, design, and sustainability, and have inspired many Asian projects.The Burj Khalifa holds the title of the tallest building in the world, but Asia's skyscrapers are quickly catching up. Buildings like the Shanghai Tower and the Lotte World Tower are pushing architectural boundaries with their advanced engineering and focus on sustainability. Additionally, while skyscrapers in New York and London often emphasize luxury and exclusivity, many of Asia’s high-rises are designed to be multifunctional, catering to a broader range of uses.Looking Ahead: The Future of Skyscrapers in AsiaAs Asia continues to urbanize and grow, the demand for tall buildings will only increase. However, the future of skyscrapers in the region is likely to focus on more than just height. Architects and developers are now looking at how to create smarter, more sustainable high-rises that integrate seamlessly into their urban environments.Innovations in green technology, energy efficiency, and disaster resilience will continue to shape the next generation of skyscrapers. Moreover, as cities expand, the integration of skyscrapers into urban planning will be crucial to ensure that these structures contribute positively to the city’s growth and functionality.In conclusion, Asia’s skyscrapers are not just feats of engineering but symbols of the region’s ambitions and capabilities. As the continent leads the world in high-rise construction, it is also setting new standards for sustainability, innovation, and urban integration, shaping the skylines of the future.

The outstanding works displayed remarkable sensitivity and ingenuity in their response to the concept, context, site limitations, and program requirements. These projects have left an impressive mark, and as a member of the judging panel, I am delighted to recognize and honor their exceptional achievements.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/5bd44af9b9219048ad5e54d3ba082ab3.JPG">Mr Tan Quee Peng, General Director of RSP Vietnam and esteemed jury member of the 2023 Asia Architecture Design AwardsWhich project impressed you the most? What is the reason?As an architect, I have encountered numerous impressive projects across different architectural sectors, but what truly captivated me is the essence of domesticity, which holds a special place in my heart.Among the multitude of architectural projects, one project that left a profound impression on me is "The Ngõ." It is a work that artfully transforms the remnants of a narrow alleyway, or "ngõ" in Vietnamese, between shop houses into a space that exudes the essence of Vietnamese culture and tradition. Delicately crafted, this work navigates the interplay of light and shadow, guiding one through a mesmerizing journey of small, well-defined spaces. What captivates me most is the central courtyard, where three generations of a family converge.The meticulous use of materials adds a touch of simplicity and elegance to the overall design. I find myself captivated by the subtle beauty and thoughtful execution of this project, making it a true masterpiece of residential design in Vietnam.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/6c3229d55940fb292cbbd094324fa731.jpg">Project The Ngõ.In recent years, the trend of integrating architecture with environmental elements and enhancing sustainability has been widely applied not only in Asia but worldwide. How do the projects participating in AADA reflect this trend?There are several remarkable projects that exemplify the sustainability trend, but two particularly stand out to me. One of them is the Earth House, which impressively utilizes tamped or ramped Earth walls, showcasing a strong commitment to sustainability. Internally, the connection with the earth's sensibility is striking, while the clever wall placements offer privacy, shade from solar heat gain, and breathtaking views. Furthermore, the owner's dedication to sustainability shines through as they have implemented strategies for achieving net-zero electricity, food self-sufficiency, and water harvesting.The second project that caught my attention is the landscaping endeavor in Sikanderpur forest, India. Here, a disused mining site undergoes a brilliant transformation. Addressing the challenge of diverted flooded water away from the area shows their ingenuity in dealing with environmental constraints. Moreover, their prudent use of on-site materials and recycled construction materials for in situ construction speaks volumes about their environmental consciousness. The design, thoughtfully integrating with the contours and colors of the landscape, further underscores their commitment to sustainability.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/21441dce153b02dcf19833ce8fd5078f.jpg">Project The Earth House.One of the prominent factors that makes Asian architecture stand out is the incorporation of unique cultural identity into architectural designs. How do you evaluate this aspect through the projects participating in AADA? Is there any project that impressed you?When discussing the unique cultural identity of Asian architecture, we find a delicate balance between preserving traditional cultures and fostering innovation. The most exceptional and successful designs achieve a captivating dialogue between these two aspects while abstracting their ideas. An excellent illustration of this can be seen in the Dhawa interior design project, where the craft of Quy Nhon culture harmoniously integrates with contemporary design.In the Aayi House of India, a charming simplicity takes center stage, expressed through a varied use of colors, uncomplicated furnishings, and carefully chosen materials. The result is a warm and intimate atmosphere, evoking a sense of home.On the other hand, the Silhouette House embraces a dark and modern aesthetic sensibility. Though highly abstracted, this design thoughtfully incorporates oriental ornaments, effectively representing the cultural identity of the homeowner.Even in the realm of furniture design, cultural inspiration shines through. A notable example is the TonKin furniture, drawing from the straw dunes found in rice fields. Through abstraction, unique coffee tables and stools are created, capturing the essence of this traditional idea in a highly artistic form.These examples underscore the essence of Asian architecture's cultural identity, skillfully blending tradition and innovation to create captivating and meaningful spaces.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/302b97a5421f2d883f3509c0d320f94e.jpg">Project Dahwa Quy Nhon.From the winning projects this year, how do you assess the position and potential for development of Asian architecture?I think many have said that this is actually the Asian century and much of Asia and Asian architecture has become and will become the new center of the world.The region's abundant cultural heritage provides a rich source of inspiration for reimagining modern architecture. The subtlety and sensitivity ingrained in Asian culture serve as a well of creative ideas that can be interpreted in various architectural sensibilities.One fascinating aspect is how Asian architecture artfully balances space and form's materiality, effectively creating a sense of tension. The translation of spatial hierarchy into distinct architectural forms, as well as the exploration of notions of space, privacy, and publicity, all contribute to the captivating allure of Asian designs.In Southeast Asia, particularly, the influence of climate becomes evident in the translation and evolution of architectural spaces. Architects ingeniously incorporate elements like moving window screens to harmonize with weather conditions, temperature, and natural light, while thoughtfully addressing matters of publicity and privacy.I think the position and potential for development of occasion architecture bodes well in the future for Asia and the world at large.

2025 Asia Architecture Design Award Launches "Student League," Shining A Spotlight On Emerging Architectural Talent

In today's competitive market, awards offer a strategic advantage for businesses. They enhance credibility, boost employee morale, attract top talent, and open doors to new markets. 

Why Awards Matter: A Competitive Edge  

As the Asia Architecture Design Awards (AADA) gears up for its 2025 edition, the emphasis on teamwork has never been more pronounced. Companies are recognizing that achieving prestigious awards not only elevates their brand but also validates the collective hard work of their teams. Teamwork fuels creativity, fosters innovation, and propels projects from mere concepts to award-winning realities.&nbsp;Recognition in prestigious awards like the AADA is not solely about the final masterpiece but the collaborative journey that brings it to life. So how is teamwork demonstrated in each step of a team's project implementation?Initial Concept and BrainstormingThe genesis of any groundbreaking architectural project lies in the initial concept and brainstorming phase - the heartbeat of every project. This is where team dynamics first come into play. Architects, designers, engineers, and stakeholders gather to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore possibilities.In this phase, open communication and mutual respect are paramount. Team members must feel empowered to voice unconventional ideas without fear of dismissal. Such an environment nurtures creativity and lays a solid foundation for the project.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdSJiOqA7LU4hSVt2p2QMVk5vRpddoOE5vSzHCDzLvEiZorZCToUDiHgvW4cuAVcm6Ukyxopeu7H_gm4XypG5fLt6xgjLQbZ5vQrvboZPHoWV5tV2dohEcoOdk2cyVt6eG9PxAr?key=ffu0TA1rzkBX3PLvGOd1fQ">Winner of 2023 AADA’s Best Architecture Design Firm&nbsp; - TwoG ArchitectureDesign Development Through CollaborationAs the project progresses into the design development stage, collaboration becomes even more critical. Team members must integrate their specialized knowledge to refine the initial concept into a workable design.Collaboration during design development ensures that the aesthetic vision aligns with structural integrity and functionality. It's a delicate balance that can only be achieved through constant dialogue and teamwork.Interdisciplinary cooperation helps identify potential challenges early, allowing the team to devise innovative solutions. This cohesive approach not only enhances the quality of the design but also streamlines the development process.Iterative Feedback and RefinementNo design is perfect from the outset. Iterative feedback and refinement are essential to achieving excellence. During this phase, the team must be receptive to critique and willing to make necessary adjustments.Regular meetings, progress reviews, and open forums for discussion facilitate this iterative process. Each refinement brings the team closer to creating a design worthy of recognition.Finalization and PresentationThe culmination of months, or even years, of collaborative effort is realized in the finalization and presentation phase. Here, the team's collective hard work is showcased, and the project is prepared for unveiling to clients, stakeholders, and award committees.The presentation is more than just a formality; it's an opportunity to highlight the innovation and teamwork that underpin the project. A compelling presentation can significantly enhance a project's chances of gaining prestigious recognition.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfJc4OKqSwTpSl1vemsLPYW5Ts1GmVKlZKeGjVQF8XrOFNRzFev56ypc8IZSsZbxxeQ9mYNAx9jjivLJRCNl32q4F9IgagHV5p3jzdhNh3BX8DUKuEBKlwrkpPxqc2mpAl4gjDzXg?key=ffu0TA1rzkBX3PLvGOd1fQ">Winner of 2024 AADA’s Best Firm In Architecture Design - Studio Lumbung Architect (SLA)&nbsp;AADA: Honoring the Journey and the Team Behind ItThe Asia Architecture Design Award celebrates not just architectural excellence but the collaborative spirit that makes such excellence possible.

The integration of local architectural elements into contemporary design has emerged as a prominent trend in Asia, offering a powerful means to celebrate cultural heritage, create unique and sustainable spaces, and foster a sense of place.&nbsp;By drawing inspiration from traditional building techniques, materials, and motifs, architects can design structures that resonate with local communities and evoke a deep connection to the region's history and culture.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd96-UfqE9obiTRzA2UHicAzFE0ng_-un5M56spwLK2cTXnNmrPXDwTW9GyvYCzX9N6-v-OUJXQ7GTekLJ0NhMQbIUaKKCWFglWP6RlzlC-vMzjKkKKsMGGVd6zpJIeVgO_EuT-IQ?key=kLIAn5eXujnaWbOefWM0YA">Winner of 2023 AADA - project The “Ngõ” (D.O.G House)Benefits of Integrating Traditional Elements into Contemporary Spaces<ol><li>Preserving Cultural Heritage</li></ol>Preserving cultural heritage through the integration of traditional architectural elements into modern design is a crucial endeavor. By researching and documenting traditional building techniques, preserving historic buildings, training skilled craftsmen, and incorporating traditional elements into new projects, architects can ensure that these cultural legacies are passed onto future generations. This not only contributes to a sense of identity and sustainability but also provides valuable educational resources and economic opportunities. While challenges such as funding and skill shortages may exist, the benefits of preserving cultural heritage far outweigh the costs.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc-qthdOYq9AoxfWgFDlS2wNJMUFcLsJaZOne9O8UW0KTUvdYCgzBjFyDDFeVIQqHQ1o3HWw6XevAwj8lCI_A3CmPtWYJ91DI2ef9vp-MTBxD1v-GtivcjAzyD-6JKTSGfFDCdbCsvI9qzeHny9hQHrUzWg?key=kLIAn5eXujnaWbOefWM0YA">Winner of 2024 AADA - project Border House (Worklounge 03)<ol start="2"><li>Creating Unique and Sustainable Spaces</li></ol>The integration of local architectural elements into contemporary design offers a powerful means to create unique and visually appealing buildings that reflect cultural heritage and promote sustainability. Traditional design features, such as carvings, ornamentation, and color schemes, can add a distinctive character to modern structures. Moreover, many traditional building techniques are inherently sustainable, incorporating features that promote energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

By incorporating traditional architectural elements, architects can help to preserve cultural heritage, create visually appealing spaces, and strengthen the bonds that tie communities together.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeOrqyH_RvMUF20UgbjHaB9C2Dn6iAcTB0DirE5ZXjXxeK5s6YhbJ9Y7zGewV5V5MplIrJDay1eK7qOKwxyoVTW0o4mVNTOLBD7kgaV7LAIf5G2Vg1Lts6ReZeyWrM6gfKaCM8z?key=kLIAn5eXujnaWbOefWM0YA">Winner of 2023 AADA - &nbsp;project Once Upon A Time Boutique Home - Studio NagomiChallenges and OpportunitiesWhile integrating local architectural elements into contemporary design offers numerous benefits, it also presents challenges. One of the main challenges is balancing tradition with contemporary design principles. It is important to avoid creating overly nostalgic or kitschy designs that do not resonate with modern audiences.Another challenge is the availability of skilled craftsmen and artisans who can execute traditional building techniques. In some cases, training new generations of artisans may be necessary to preserve these skills.Despite these challenges, the integration of local architectural elements into modern design offers a promising path for creating sustainable, culturally relevant, and visually appealing buildings. As Asian cities continue to grow and develop, it is essential to embrace this approach to preserve cultural heritage and create a sense of place.ConclusionIntegrating local architectural elements into contemporary design is a powerful tool for celebrating cultural heritage, creating unique and sustainable spaces, and fostering a sense of place. By drawing inspiration from traditional building techniques and materials, architects can design buildings that resonate with local communities and contribute to a more vibrant and sustainable future.

Asian architecture has always been a fascinating blend of tradition and innovation. In recent years, architects have embraced this fusion, incorporating traditional elements into contemporary designs. 

Local Architecture in Modern Design: Integrating Traditional Elements into Contemporary Spaces

Architectural philosopher Louis Kahn once said: "Architecture is the servant of light", Natural light has been a fundamental element in architecture for centuries.&nbsp;In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in harnessing the power of sunlight in building design, particularly in Asia. As Asian cities continue to grow and densify, architects are finding innovative ways to incorporate natural light into their designs, creating spaces that are visually appealing, energy-efficient, and conducive to human well-being.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcvDsrwsuIlmLzxtuH_yVi6fntAzlmmPsTiq0j-5TrMT1EliPwWlj7uPF8SsTxGN5XNUTLHxX8Gt6dZaORStjzjVWn0OUymS7h00GgTktbkO4PWqvyz30eXCe-fr4J-kQvJAHeW3bXgH0X8eaLMk944ZZZS?key=SNDjJaQR5utiqssRhSaN6A">Winner of 2024 AADA - VI ARI (Proud Real Estate Public Company Limited)Benefits of Natural LightNatural light, a fundamental element in architecture and design, offers benefits beyond aesthetics. Exposure to natural light helps regulate our internal body clocks, ensuring we sleep better and feel more energized during the day.&nbsp;Moreover, natural light has been shown to improve cognitive function, including memory, concentration, and alertness. Studies have found that exposure to natural light can enhance academic performance, particularly in children and adolescents. Finally, by maximizing natural light, buildings can significantly reduce their reliance on artificial lighting, leading to substantial energy savings. This reduces energy costs and contributes to a more sustainable future.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcAjl8hTzL3WpcY2XlX_a_qRCoS1TjI7Ji3DR2h0_s-_bAIyDi5dxc-BVOOeNlHm5Lzk0Ulk4lnbr56jyZXO1DlZ_WklO3mGnEIWPXRZSGFNFv8X3OdfWDCarpkfZiirwD-iTgkWg?key=SNDjJaQR5utiqssRhSaN6A">Winner of 2024 AADA - Stacking house (Temple of Light Design Studio)Modern Asian Architecture and Natural LightIn contemporary Asian architecture, the use of natural light is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Architects are employing a variety of techniques to maximize daylighting, including:1. Skylights and atriums&nbsp;These architectural elements bring natural light deep into the interior of buildings, creating a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. Skylights can be designed to provide both direct and indirect light, allowing for various lighting effects. Atriums, on the other hand, are larger, multi-story spaces that can be used to create dramatic and visually striking interiors.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeRDdih2Tw8H3FAAwx4RRCvExmFTCyLJTKiPtWhh1IGzjahPJMZZWUW965C2nxBVTX7ta0INpJ2nqtqHFHPj2va_ZZ5Bauy_605W_D51WPvDx_BlkR_rVDVXHtvjefG-KDt0UV-YmC9HzI5ghovBdMmsX0?key=SNDjJaQR5utiqssRhSaN6A">Winner of 2024 AADA - project Library in the Earth (Hiroshi Nakamura &amp; NAP)<ol start="2"><li>Light Shelves</li></ol>Light shelves are horizontal surfaces that strategically reflect daylight deep into interior spaces, reducing the need for artificial lighting. Light shelves are typically located near windows or skylights. They are designed to capture and redirect sunlight, reflecting it towards the interior of the space. This reflected light can illuminate areas that might otherwise be in shadow, such as deep recesses or corners. Therefore, they can be integrated into the building's design or added as a retrofit, making them a versatile and cost-effective solution for improving natural lighting in various architectural settings.<ol start="3"><li>Transparent insulation</li></ol>Transparent insulation is a revolutionary material that combines the benefits of traditional insulation with the ability to transmit visible light. By allowing visible light to pass through while providing thermal insulation, transparent insulation can help reduce energy consumption, improve occupant comfort, and create a more sustainable and pleasant indoor environment. While the cost of transparent insulation may be higher than traditional insulation, its benefits in terms of energy savings and improved comfort can outweigh the initial investment. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more innovative and cost-effective transparent insulation solutions in the future.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXefJLHO1q7EzQFhv5d7X2wGgK6veEX5hFhsdWGgS9Ct471mntUdeHjgFJZ2jpv1zvCCayKloCBsRAjehgQbf9bJxVgHSydg7jMVZFjNOgqR-MHhqSZUM_cp8uncd4qdBf0k4iWfVQ?key=SNDjJaQR5utiqssRhSaN6A">Winner of 2024 AADA - project Stacking House (Temple of Light Design Studio)<ol start="4"><li>Dynamic facades</li></ol>Dynamic facades are a cutting-edge architectural innovation that can significantly improve the performance and sustainability of buildings.

Experts predict that 2023 will be a challenging year for all sectors/industries as the global economy hits the recession's peak, directly affecting people's spending levels. In that context, competing with peers in the industry to stand out and attract customers is a crucial task.The field of architecture, design and construction in Vietnam is projected to face a situation of low construction demand and high competition with both domestic and foreign competitors in 2023, forcing businesses to seek out new development orientations.<blockquote><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/c766aa7754bfa30301e9b1fd7ef064e3.jpg"></blockquote>Conference hosted by AAO: Why architects should really tell their stories?Currently, Vietnam does not have an exchange or a common platform for individuals and companies in the industry to promote themselves, making it difficult for customers to search and choose. Even when customers need to select a designer, a construction company or an architect that suits their needs on the Internet, it could be more streamlined. Most new clients come through referrals or brokerage and consulting firms.Many individuals or companies in the industry need to be aware of the importance of creating a prominent brand to attract customers, thus directly promoting sales and business growth. There is an opinion that architects and interior designers prioritize the quality of the work over making a name for themselves, the company or the project itself. Because of that, we have a situation where Vietnamese architects are good at building people's homes, yet could improve in terms of building their own brands.To create a space to share, find ways to break down limitations and provide&nbsp; direction on branding in the field of architecture, the Asia Awards Organization (AAO) and Vietnam Design &amp; Build Center co-organized the seminar "Why Architects should really tell their stories?".The event is part of a series of monthly activities in many Asian countries of the Asian Architecture Design Awards (organized by AAO) with the desire to promote the growth of the Asian architecture and design industry.<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/d4be203142c1df029fdad061d8c2e83c.jpg">Mr Tan Quee Peng, Board of Advisor of Asia Awards Organization talked about personal branding for Vietnamese architects.Participating in the seminar will be experts with extensive experience in the fields of real estate, architecture, interior design, and marketing, including: Mr. Dylan Yip, Vice President of Partnership Development, Asia Awards Organization Pte. Ltd; Mr. Gianfranco Bianchi, CEO of Italian Atelier; Mr. Nguyen Tien Huy, CEO Pencil Group; Mr. Tan Quee Peng, Green Mark Manager, General Director at RSP Vietnam; and Ms. Nguyen Anh Trang, Account Director, Creative Head of MVV SNP.According to Mr. Yip, with a lengthy history of culture and skilled workers, Vietnam's architecture industry has great potential for development, reaching out to the region and the world if some existing limitations can be overcome. This is why AAO organizes free seminars to create opportunities for knowledge exchange and to ignite the growth of Vietnam's architecture industry.The conference took place from 2 PM to 5 PM on February 26th at Hanoi, Vietnam

In the context that Vietnamese architects are not only subject to fierce competition within the country but also with foreign architects, positioning and raising the brand are essential factors.

Name: TOPS REDEVELOPMENTLocation: Cebu, PhilippinesCompany: ArchiGlobal Inc.Designer: ArchiGlobal Inc.The Tops Redevelopment, also known as "Top of Cebu", stands tall on a 3-hectare site and offers a mesmerizing 360-degree panoramic view of the bustling Cebu Metropolis, the enchanting Bohol Sea, the azure Mactan Channel and its islands to the east, and the lush greenery of the protected watershed mountains to the west. Designed as a commercial hub complemented by recreational and hospitality spaces, the complex ingeniously revolves around the existing circular viewing deck, ensuring that every corner and establishment enjoys the stunning vista.The iconic semi-circle structure that encircles the circular viewing deck houses a variety of shops and restaurants, allowing visitors to savor both the delectable delicacies of Cebu and its world-class furniture offerings while basking in the city's beauty. A lively "mercadillo" or open market stretches along the ridge, serving as the main approach to the circular deck and doubling as a space to showcase the city's local art and products. Adding to the allure, the ridge also hosts a mini-golf course, a hotel, and office floors, elevating the experience of all who visit.A key feature of the Tops Redevelopment is its striking circular banded form, resembling the minute markers of a clock. Illuminated by profile lights, the structure dynamically glows, becoming a prominent and unmistakable landmark visible from both the city below and approaching airplanes at the island's international airport. This architectural brilliance sets Tops apart, ensuring it becomes a coveted postcard destination in the Philippines.Notably, the Tops Redevelopment project comes on the heels of Cebu's UNESCO Creative City of Design recognition in 2019. Cebu has long been celebrated for its colorful festivals, beach resort destinations, and historical church architecture, speaking volumes about its Christian heritage. The city's evolution into a hub of creative design and visual arts is now perfectly embodied by the Tops Redevelopment, encompassing all of Cebu's cultural brilliance in a single awe-inspiring space.The developers of Tops embraced the challenge of integrating several functions into the ridge site, skillfully crafting a progressive journey for visitors to fully appreciate the breathtaking views. The climax of this journey is reached on the expansive circular open deck, where visitors can witness the grandeur of the Cebu metropolis, bathed in the glow of the sun and the city's vibrant energy.Moreover, the Tops Redevelopment holds a special surprise for revelers, as it will serve as a New Year's Eve destination like no other. The circular deck, with its illuminated bands mimicking the clock's minute markers, will usher in the countdown to the new year in a dazzling display of lights. As the clock strikes midnight, guests will be treated to an extravagant burst of fireworks, transforming the Tops into one of the most sought-after New Year's Eve experiences worldwide.The commercial complex's design meticulously addresses the region's warm weather, strong winds, and cultural significance. Employing building materials that combine strength, thermal insulation, and aesthetic appeal, the Tops Redevelopment exhibits a harmonious blend of modern architecture and vernacular charm. The roof structures boast synthetic weave materials, ensuring excellent insulation properties, while the translucent and clear roof materials in the "mercadillo" allow sunlight to penetrate the spaces, creating a vibrant atmosphere.The Tops Redevelopment is not merely a commercial venture; it represents Cebu's cultural legacy and economic vibrance, positioning itself as a symbol of the city's bright future. With its well-planned spaces and captivating design, this crown jewel atop the mountain will continue to draw a constant influx of tourists, further enhancing the project's profitability as a commercial and cultural haven.Take a virtual journey into the enchanting world of Tops Redevelopment:<img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/b8611c7c02b7da5104b01685513071b9.jpg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/4f472d99ee05cced06fe9a0f6c438fa1.jpg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/21ec840f6eb2afffe589278bedf08de7.jpg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/304269da7862371c48851180f0471256.jpg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/2836f803b459611c17c3c0fc7e36a0ce.jpg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/a1f7cdce6740c01a35f0fd8948c9dab2.jpg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/f050438921937d4feb73a678e754fdf6.jpg"><img src="https://files.aadawards.com/assets/8179e1c5d788d561dc3c0caf86c0f602.jpg">
