Brandhorst Museum
Designer: Sauerbruch Hutton
Location: Munich, Germany
The building of Sauerbruch Hutton architects in Berlin is a long, two-storey, rectangular structure abutting a considerably higher, trapezium-shaped section that widens to the north. The precise contours of both parts are linked by a continuous ribbon glazing that culminates in the generous glazed area at the main entrance.

Milstein Hall
Designer: Rem Koolhaas, Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA)
Location: Ithaca, New York
Image Credits: OMA
The proposed design consists of an elevated second floor that provides much-needed flexible contiguous studio space for the AAP and internal connections to Sibley and Rand halls. The structure is artfully cantilevered on the north side and southeast corner. The space underneath it is left open to form a pedestrian plaza that provides outdoor gathering and exhibition space protected from the elements, a new entrance at the southeast corner, and a sheltered pedestrian connection to the sculpture studios located in the Foundry. A concrete dome in the center provides the incline for the auditorium seating, supports a generous, inviting stair to the second floor studio space, and creates a domed ceiling to the crit space below. Existing site circulation patterns at ground level are maintained and enhanced by this openness.

Beaumaris House
Designer: Maddison Architects
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Formally, the house is split into two rectangular boxes. The black, zinc-clad southern box encloses living, kitchen and outdoor spaces, and cantilevers out beyond its ground floor enclosure to capture 270° Port Phillip Bay views. The discrete activities of the house, such as sleeping and bathing, are accommodated with the separate masonry northern wing.
