A cultural landmark is a building, structure or site recognised for its historical, aesthetic or civic importance to a community or nation. Architects designing within this category must balance symbolic presence with functional use, and respond to existing memory, geography and public expectation.

Members here explore projects ranging from opera houses on waterfronts and cultural centres in the landscape to reinterpreted monuments and tombs. Recurring concerns include how new forms relate to coastlines, hills and civic cross-references, how buildings can sit within or beneath the land, and how heritage can be reimagined without losing its meaning.

AQUALUS

The pavilion is a medium size structure performing like a gigantic eye. Looking at the water surface within the iris-like void, enhances infinity through sky reflection over the water; connecting the surface and the sky to create a sense of limitlessness within that small canopy. The result is an illusive boundary of the whole structure.
