Beijing Sub-Center Library

Beijing Sub-Center Library, China

Architecture firm Snøhetta has revealed designs for a 16-meter-tall glass library in Beijing, featuring pillars that create a forest-like canopy. The building was selected as the winning entry in a 2018 international competition to design the Sub-Centre Library. The glass structure will have tree-like columns supporting the roof, designed to resemble a ginkgo forest canopy, native to China. The columns will be fitted with technology for climate, lighting, acoustics, and rainwater disposal. The interior will have an open, undulating plan, housing reading rooms and mimicking the surrounding landscape. The library is set to be completed by end of 2023 and will be China’s first self-supporting glass-facade project.

Sydney Modern

Sydney Modern, Australia

Sydney Modern, designed by SANAA, has been unveiled to the world. Overlooking the Sydney harbour, the building will be formed by a series of rectangular pavilions, contrasting with the existing neo-classical galleries. Separated by a public art garden, the two buildings will connect by an atrium made of glass walls. The project will consist of 7,000 sm of gallery space. “We hope the Sydney Modern Project will be a special place for visitors to experience the shared joy of art and ideas in this unique and beautiful setting,” said Kazuyo Sejima, co-founder of SANAA.
