Urban Landmark
Architectural works that become recognizable civic landmarks, from bridges and campuses to shelters and research centres.
Bro Copenhagen
Focusing on connecting both ends of Copenhagen riverbanks and creating a very Danish experience, the bridge becomes the core location of Copenhagen to gather around. Implementing the Danish idea of happiness, "hygge" and inspired by the rich Viking whaling and fishing history, the bridge abstract as harboring boats with hygge-like experience facilities.
Retrospecting Genocide
The project gives a hint of the co-existence of two different major functions at the same time. The site Zinzira bazar is one of the most atrocious killing sites in the history of our liberation war. The idea was to preserve the history of genocide as well as reconstruct the functional bazar marking it as an urban landmark insight of Neo-contextualism.
A Pedestrian Bridge That Choreographs Light and Water
Hoshino Architects' Reimei Kobashi footbridge in Tokyo's waterfront district turns infrastructure into a luminous urban landmark.
I think your results are very innovative. I think the design output is also very good. However, I think we need more detailed explanations that can make such an innovative result understandable to many people. I think the process of visually communicating and understanding your thoughts to the other party is also important for this competition. Innovation is important, but meticulousness sometimes touches even more. Good luck.

White Lands
Good clustering approach for the accommodation units and well treated common public areas in between, with clear references to traditional patterns. Stacking of sleeping beds on two levels, is questionable, as well as the vertical circulation in the units. The proposal could be successfully developed for and extended use beyond the holy hajj period

Discovery Link
Discovery Link allows cyclists and pedestrians to discover a public space on a cycling bridge. A labyrinth of ramps winds around the bridge’s floating boxes, making occupants slow down and take in their surroundings.
Unconvincing basic concept, aerial exposure, end result of strong impact. Good creation of suggestive environments and perspectives for users, little in depth the whole by those who observe from afar
Telling Bridge
The design of the Telling bridge celebrates one of Denmark and Copenhagen’s most renown culture symbol H.C. Andersen and is a anecdote of his beloved fairy tales. The appearance of the bridge is designed to resemble papers from a storybook floating on the waster surface. Page corners are rolled up in natural curves as if someone is flipping through stories.
Nice!
Nice idea.
Brilliant!!!
Opera in Sight
Opera In Sight is the welcome door to the baltic community to Tallinn, in addition to being the physical and programmatic link of the two great conditioning factors that define the city, its port and its relationship with the Baltic Sea.
Incredibly beautiful bridge. Lines that give a sense of fluidity and elegance very appealing to the eye. All in addition to a very useful tower and common space. Great way to connect such iconic towers withing Copenhagen. Good work.
Amazing work and great concept!
