The Manifestation of Traditional Chinese Architectural Language in Modern Architecture 
We have never stopped exploring the manifestation of traditional Chinese architectural language in modern architecture, starting with the effort of a modern volume with a traditional paradigm roof. This inheritance and expression are based on the context, which is divided into two categories: Adoption: A Reinterpretation of Traditions and Ablation: Disappearing out of Respect.

3andwich Design tops clifftop library in China with circular pool
"The library strives to have poetic tension: looking down from a high place, the building is very geometric – a circle plus a straight line," explained 3andwich Design. "The plane shape of the main part of the building is circular, and the straight line is the outdoor corridor and long wall, which introduces people from the top of the hill into the building."

Hub of Huts : The Village Upside Down noa* network of architecture
When noa* designed the cantilevered swimming pool for Hubertus in 2016, the studio envisioned it as a rock stranded between earth and sky. In 2019 a new assignment was granted to the architects, the design of a dedicated well-being extension. It was not an easy task for a building that had already found its symbol in the swimming pool, yet this served as inspiration for the new project.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The new structure is located on the southeast side of the façade, in a position symmetrical to the swimming pool. Like the pool, this is also detached from the main building: the platform hovers 15 metres above the ground and is supported by two pillars clad in larch logs, similar to those that punctuate the façade behind. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Visitors reach the wellbeing area via a suspended walkway, which at the same time opens up to the newly constructed relaxation area, offering space for up to 27 people. On the platform, individual microstructures with gabled roofs accommodate the functional programme on two levels. A surprising element is the lower level, where the horizon undergoes a 180° rotation, and the huts appear to be anchored upside down.

Pioneering the Revival of Earth Architecture: Egypt, France, and India
The current ecological crisis has sparked a renewed interest in ancient traditions, especially among architects. The need for reliable and sustainable eco-architecture has led many international architects to explore vernacular eco-construction. A common belief is that vernacular practices are embedded in their time, unable to find a place in the contemporary built environment. However, many examples across the world show how knowledgeable artisans are capable of re-utilizing their skills in new ways.

It would be a heartbreaking loss to the architectural world to lose the entire campus designed by Louis Kahn but the solutions presented by the author and the comparisons to other Indian architectural masterpieces feel disingenuous. 
Maybe a portion of the campus, maybe even one building (like the library), can be saved as a record of what once stood there designed by one of the greatest architects of the 20th century. Maybe there is a chance for adaptive reuse that can extend the life of the structures. it would make a great design challenge.

Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos creates doughnut-shaped clubhouse in Mexico
Cross-laminated timber and volcanic stone were used to form a round building along a lake that was designed by Mexican studio Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos. The Valle San Nicolás Clubhouse is located on the outskirts of Valle de Bravo, about two hours from Mexico City.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Set on a 385-hectare residential development, along a lake with an 800-metre waterski run, the building holds a range of spaces for relaxing and socialising.  "The natural conditions of Valle San Nicolás were explored to better understand how the two most prominent natural elements – the mountains and the lake – could converge and relate to each other through a work of architecture," said the architecture studio.
