World Architecture Developments in Dec 2010

Vienna Spa, Austria : 4a Architekten
The visitor enters via the mouth of the stream, where the foyer is located, and follows the path downstream, past the assorted “theme stones” towards the spring itself. The path widens and narrows, surprising the visitor with different scenarios and perspectives, repeatedly arousing his curiosity as to what might be hiding around the next corner. Bands of light set in places in the flooring relate sympathetically with the motif of the stream.

Moderna Museet Malmö, Sweden : Tham & Videgård Arkitekter
In relation to its context, the new addition plays with scale. From a distance it is only intelligible in comparison to the adjacent houses, and only in close proximity can the building and its details be read in its own right. The elimination of the standard ‘middle-scale’ strengthens the museum’s presence in the immediate urban setting, and at the same time allows the building to appear as a signal, establishing a relationship with Malmö as a whole.
