When asked to design an apartment block next to a parking garage, BIG saw an opportunity to explore a new form of symbiotic urbanism. Rather than placing a traditional slab of apartments next to a block of cars, BIG proposed mixing the two and exploiting their differences as a strength rather than a weakness: cars need large floor plates and good proximity to the street, while houses want sunlight and views. As a result, the parking is turned into a podium for the building&#;s homes that form a stepping landscape of houses with gardens.

Slicing breaks down the iconic Gople silhouette and scale into different dimensions and proportions to bring light indoor and outdoor, by interpreting the relationship between spaces and nature. Starting from the principles of production, energy sustainability and respect for the natural environment in which they are inserted, a series of overlapping slats interact with the light and define the body of three suspension lights two floor and one wall/ceiling elements. Slicing can accompany us as we walk about, it helps us to read the surrounding landscape in the movement, it stages the space and creates moments of rest, sharing and meeting, resulting in an experience on a human scale.

Tallinn municipality decided to consolidate its public governance and service entities into a new town hall. Located to the north of the medieval city center set within the green ring that wraps around the ancient city walls, the new town hall occupies a key position in the successful urbanization of the waterfront and offers a unique possibility of linking land and sea, old and new, public space and public institutions.

The enhancement and optimization of heat transfer are essential for energy conservation and environment protection, because heat transfer is related to almost % of total energy consumption in industry. Convective heat transfer is one of the common transport processes in industry. It is highly important to develop a theory and corresponding technology for enhancing convective heat transfer. Through numerical simulation and experimental analysis, researchers have developed many technologies to enhance the heat transfer in tube flow. Correspondingly, certain heat-transfer-enhanced tubes are exploited, such as inner-finned tubes [], spiral corrugated tubes [], and micro-finned tubes []. Bejan et al. [] divided the tube flow into two parts: boundary flow and core flow. The flow near the wall of tube is defined as boundary flow and the remaining is core flow. In the aforementioned heat-transfer-enhanced tubes, the surfaces in the boundary, which dominate the convective heat transfer between fluid and tube wall, are designed or improved to enhance heat transfer. The mechanism for heat transfer enhancement includes []: disturbing the boundary layer, extending the heat transfer surface, and changing the physical properties of the heat transfer surface. Therefore, this kind of method can be designated as surface-based heat transfer enhancement (abbreviated as the surface-based method). This method effectively enhances the convective heat transfer coefficient, but the increase in flow resistance may become significant and the comprehensive performance can be weakened.

The wooden Panda figure for ARCHITECTMADE is designed for BIG&#;s Panda House at Copenhagen Zoo. The new habitat for two giant pandas was created in the yin-yang symbol, based on the Chinese philosophy for balance and opposition within a simple shape. The Panda mimics this simplicity, with the rotation of the upper body and movability of the arms and legs. The Panda figure is available in large or small size.
