Ron Arad and Santiago Calatrava in Liège

This is the completion of two “iconic” buildings by Santiago Calatrava and Ron Arad. A massive sweeping roof with secondary surfaces raking out over the surroundings, it features the biomimicry and incessant repetition of structural elements that are their trademark. It’s a deeply impressive building, and clearly intends to inspire a similar awe in the visitor that the original massive train stations did 150 years ago.


Few images of the interior

The National Grand Theatre in Beijing by Jean Andreu

The exterior of the theater is a titanium accented glass dome that is completely surrounded by a man-made lake. It is said to look like an egg floating on water, or a water drop. It was designed as an iconic feature, something that would be immediately recognizable.
