COMPLETED 2019

‘Emerging as the new distinctive landmark of Mexico City and being the first stadium to be built in the capital in the last 50 years, the Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium is positioned as one of the largest and most modern ball parks in Latin America; where functionality, service and the conjunction between art and sport rise as distinctive banners of the property.’ Francisco Rojas, Director of CDAHH As we stand, silent and in shadow, the crosswind subtly reminding us we are outside, the stadium, this place, tells us of its roots and transports us with an unexpected feeling of transparency and openness. It is designed to express the many layers of this vast leading metropolis steeped in a rich culture, connecting to its people, rewriting a new future after every game.

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, MEXICO CITY, MEXICO,
COMPLETED 2021

Tallness has become an instrument towards expedited density, with technological progress and innovation as its byproducts. But how can it go beyond branding a city’s skyline and recognize the existence of a place? Here, a public podium that dilutes the boundaries of private and public space gives the tower an urban significance at the ground level, marking the building’s identity as much as its peak stands it apart in the skyline.

SHENZHEN WORLD EXHIBITION CENTER

CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION CENTER COMPLEX AND MASTERPLAN, SHENZHEN, CHINA,
INVITED COMPETITION – SECOND PLACE 2016

To plan what was envisioned to be the largest conference and exhibition complex in the world, modular elements, through repetition and clever configurations provided logic and order to the massive scale. Interconnected modular elements generated super modules, the super modules, clusters, and the clusters, urban systems. Each exhibition hall became a super module; three halls formed a cluster around a triangular courtyard. The clusters were organized along a pedestrian promenade forming a system of rich urban experiences. The whole would be assembled as a giant puzzle made from a few pieces that fit effortlessly.

LEATOP PLAZA

305 M OFFICE TOWER, GUANGZHOU, CHINA,
COMPLETED 2012

The first LEED Gold Certified Building in South China, Leatop Plaza is a square tower whose hybrid structural system eliminated 30% of the structural weight. The vertical shingles that form the façade not only give the building a timeless elegance and shimmering quality, but also act as brises-soleil while their intersections allow indirect natural light to penetrate the large floor plates. The Ground and Sky lobbies employ a more transparent glass curtain wall than the tower to increase street-level visual porosity and create a distinctive presence in the skyline. “Selected among the most beautiful buildings in the world in 2013 by both a Jury and a community. Leatop Plaza flaunts a broad range of ‘beautiful’ from jagged facets to material light that make our hearts pound.” Beautiful, 2013

HARMONY BRIDGE

2000 M BRIDGE AND LINEAR PARK, GUANGZHOU, CHINA,
INVITED COMPETITION – SECOND PLACE 2016

A bridge at the intersection of the technical and the natural. Inspired by sound and harmony. Spaces for flowing and spaces for pausing. Moving, gathering, connecting. Unifying people to each other, their city, and their culture. Each of the bridge’s 13,000 wood ribs are connected to the main structure with large springs that translate the cars’ vibrations into a massive percussive sound. The ribs’ distinct angular shapes resonate in different frequencies that subtly turn the two-kilometer journey into a rich sensorial experience.

200 M FOUR TOWER URBAN COMPLEX, RIYADH, KSA,
INVITED COMPETITION – SECOND PLACE 2019

Contortionism in architecture is sexy when it originates and yields a cultural, environmental, and technological revolution. The block stacking signals a change in program. The shift relates to orientation towards cardinal, symbolic, and urban targets, while the façade folds in and out to shield the building from direct sunlight and sandstorms while maintaining views. The light color and dynamic shape of the second skin is a cultural reference to Arabian clothing.

An Exhibition Hall is to the city as an airport is to a country. Both present a polaroid of their technology and culture to a global audience with long-term impact. In the new Doha Exhibition and Convention Center, a monumental floating blade roof floats above seven Exhibit Halls and adjacent conference rooms that can combine into one single hall, making it the largest single hall in the world at 35,000m2, or function independently as five halls with partitions down. Circular skylights flood the halls with natural light; black-out shades provide control. A 270m long lobby with a full height, cabled- stayed façade offers panoramic views of Doha’s new downtown.

And still, the skyscraper’s manipulated mass and the interplay between solid and void form a distinct scale and identity both at grade and in the skyline.

The triangular figure of the terminal building is inspired by the design of a Delta Wing built from 300 identical and modular interconnected umbrellas. Each 36 x 36-meter inverted umbrella provides shelter, braces the building from earthquake forces, filters natural light, captures water and by reflection emanates light, transforming the whole roof into a giant urban lantern at night. Beyond being an efficient mass transportation machine, the building’s energy consumption is reduced by 46%.
