Award Winning Qingdao Harborfront Redevelopment
Designed by EE&K a Perkins Eastman Company, the Qingdao Harborfront Redevelopment proposal has won the 2013 Urban Design Honor Award by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The proposed site is unique as it was once a dockland and industrial estate which no longer in use. To recognize the historical significance of the site, some ship building cranes have been preserved and used as urban sculpture for the newly created public space.

Guangzhou Opera House by Zaha Hadid
Zaha hadid has once again did it with her unorthodox approach in focusing fully on form making above all else. Form does not necessarily follows function in her architecture. She is more interested in creating iconic structures that bear her unique style. With dynamic and vibrant forms, Zaha Hadid's architecture always confronts the public with bold statement. Her architecture is deliberately designed to stand out among others with futuristic connotations hidden deep in its form.
This building will no doubt put Guangzhou on the world map. This building has the potential to become the Sydney Opera House of China.
