CoE – Centre of Excellence, designed by Studio Motley, is an institution which is important and relevant not just to architects, but the entire community. So, it becomes critical that the building allows for and instigates this culture of openness, multiplicity and adaptability and finds ways for the profession to connect to the city and its inhabitants. The intent has been to have a generous amount of these multi-functional and semi open areas weaving in and around the programmed areas and courtyards to create a sense of informality and to encourage multiple possibilities and configurations of space usage.

Perspective Picture, designed by NArchitekTURA, exhibits Masterpieces from the Lanckoroński Collection based on numerous direct and indirect references to the presented paintings and their authors. The new architecture of the exhibition was originally intended to resemble a contemporary quasi-sacred space, blended in a surprising way with an enfilade sequence of rooms. The symmetrical geometry of the forms used in the arrangement of the exhibition refers to the Renaissance and Baroque canons, which is a nod to the presented works of art and the surrounding historical architecture.

Design In Motion designed their own office attempts to link vertically isolated areas to be connected together in the both aspects of the view point and operation. By doing so, a storey has become two equal sized platforms placing on the opposite side of the building and the level between both platforms are stacked by a haft height of one storey. In other words, this created a ‘split-level office’. The outcome of this type of the space is that all areas could be connected throughout the building, yet separated by their own functions.

The Pastel House, designed by Creative Designer Architects, takes a unique stance on ‘living with nature,’ leading to biophilic design as the defining design concept. The spatial arrangement generates a subtle play of masses besides granting fluidity to the space, and is dotted by semi-open verandahs; resulting in a view that appears monumental, yet serene. To incorporate biophilia and bring the house closer to the greens, the blocks are arranged in a pin-wheel-like arrangement that entwines the spaces around a central courtyard.
