A space conceived to dignify the musical expressions. This project has been executed together with OCESA, Mexico's leading company in the entertainment industry (www.ocesa.com.mx).

This project pays homage to music and the cultural expressions that surround it.

The existing structure is a multipurpose event hall with 6 levels, a mezzanine and basement. Presently the ground floor has a lobby area, bar, coat room, kitchen, storage rooms, restrooms, and a stage with its backstage dressing rooms and bathrooms. Followed by the house offices, more storage rooms and restrooms, and multiple halls. The existing area measures 17,060 squared feet and can host up to 1,500 viewers.

The finishes chosen are what dress and articulate the interior of the project, setting a rhythm on the walls with wood wainscoting, which starts on the exterior and travels all the way through the concert hall.

LEO A DALY, in collaboration with Local Design Institute WDCE, wins competition to design Phase 2, Plot B, of Campus  Render courtesy LEO A DALY China Mobile Ltd., one of the largest mobile telecommunications companies in the world, selected international architecture, planning, engineering, interior design and program management firm LEO A DALY to design three buildings at its new international headquarters campus in Beijing. In partnership with Local Design Institute WDCE, LEO A DALY won a competition to design Phase 2, Plot B, of the campus.  Render courtesy LEO A DALY
The new international headquarters, which will be built in several phases in an area of 1.3 million square meters, consists of a campus of 26 specialized buildings to accommodate a variety of functions, including information collection, research and innovation, information services, international cooperation and exchange and display functions. Phase 2, Plot B, of the campus, which totals 148,000 square meters near a green park space, consists of two research and development office and laboratory buildings, and a public facility building. As lead designer, LEO A DALY is providing the exterior design for the three buildings, interior design for the buildings' major public spaces and landscape architecture while WDCE is providing interior design services for the rest of the spaces as well as all engineering work.  Render courtesy LEO A DALY LEO A DALY's design for the research and development office and laboratory buildings, each a five- and nine-story facility, are organized on an east-west pedestrian axis and mirrored in their massing to establish opposite, formal entries linked to internal courtyards at the ground level. Each sculpted block features facades that convey the dynamic activity within by way of large, diagonal windows. The windows reveal perimeter stairs, which act as impromptu gathering steps with excellent views to the landscape. Central to LEO A DALY's design concept is taking conventional, internal stairways typically found in research buildings' central core zones and placing them on the perimeter in which employee brain storming activities may freely flow. This design approach of providing informal interacting zones is currently adopted by leading global research and technology firms whose goal is to support new work lifestyles preferred by younger generations. Render courtesy LEO A DALY The buildings feature fenestration that shades the external glass skin with copper-colored brise-soleil, graduated in color from dark at the bottom to light at the top, to visually ease the building's mass and suggest an organic quality which links the building to the site. The two buildings are being designed with emphasis on reducing ecological and energy consumption impact. The buildings' roofs provide sustainable landscape areas and are planted with grasses, annual and perennial materials and include some man-made materials (such as colorful rubber-based walking surfaces). The landscape for both perimeters and courtyards feature sculptural earth forms, fountains, pools, terraces and gardens.  Render courtesy LEO A DALY A third, public facilities building is placed adjacent to the research and laboratory buildings in the campus's central park and signature waterway. Within this building, recreation, food and beverage, light retail and central campus meeting facilities provide a multilevel, public place for both employees and China Mobile visitors. Its architecture is differentiated from the adjacent buildings by the portrayal of careful massing and purposeful sculpting of form, reinforced by diagonal fins which artfully echo the treatment of its neighbors. The cladding, materials and roofing of the facility incorporate a number of sustainable features, and are designed to meet Three Star Green Building standards (equivalent to LEED ® Platinum criteria), the highest rating for sustainable buildings in China.

 Lookout Point and Cafeteria, render courtesy Dellekamp Arquitectos This is a neutral architectonic intervention that complements TOA's (Taller de Operaciones Ambientales) landscaping master plan and Herzog de Meuron's Museo de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo (Modern and Contemporary Art Museum) located in the Parque Mirador Independencia of Guadalajara, Jalisco.  Lookout Point and Cafeteria, render courtesy Dellekamp Arquitectos The lookout-point and coffee?restaurant rivet the natural disemboguement of Av. Independencia but unobtrusively align to the sliding gesture of the landscape. Both facilities were achieved through a single architectonic manoeuver that consisted of an excavation and displacement of the look-?out ground onto a jutting platform.  Lookout Point and Cafeteria, diagram courtesy Dellekamp Arquitectos At ground level, only a slender slab projected over the gorge is visible. In prima facie, a visitor would have the impression of stepping onto a floating sheet of concrete. The true depth of the observation deck is concealed by the diagonal slant of its corbel underbelly and the overall structure is securely fastened by a parallel bridge devised in similar fashion.  Lookout Point and Cafeteria - Ground floor plan, drawing courtesy Dellekamp Arquitectos  Lookout Point and Cafeteria - Lower ground floor plan, drawing courtesy Dellekamp Arquitectos The coffee?restaurant, located in an underground pit preceding the observation platform, is totally invisible at ground level. The excavated grotto adds to the "floating deck" effect of the look?out point. Both amenities are the result, as it were, of sliding a match-box open.  Lookout Point and Cafeteria - Section, drawing courtesy Dellekamp Arquitectos The service area is also located underground and may be doubly accessed through the coffee?restaurant and an independent lateral stairway. Also, the coffee lounge lying below the look?out enjoys large window panes gazing over the gorge and connects directly to a stairway leading to TOA's open amphitheater down in the ravine. The main virtue of this direct and simple intervention is that both facilities are inconspicuous to sight and their interrelation subtly emulates the landscape gesture of the ravine.

| Moroso “MOON” \ Tokujin Yoshioka Posted: 25 Apr 2012 06:17 AM PDT
Designed by Tokujin Yoshioka, the new version of “MOON” chair with the metalic surface from MOROSO was presented at Milano Salone 2012. This chair, its shape created by integrating the various movement of people in the chair, is as if sculpted from the beautiful rounded shape of the moon. Its surface creates random and mysterious texture expressing the glow of the moonlight.
