The overall strategy for the open space planning within Zhuhai was to create an iconic environment that builds upon the site's unique context, forming a CBD that looks outwardly to its waterfront and harbour

Taking the themes of sport and ecology, our response provides for a range of passive and active recreational activities within a park and wetland setting. Our goal was to create a destination for both individuals and groups; a place where sport and ecology mix seamlessly, support and complement one another in a balanced environment

HASSELL and Arup have developed a concept that sits lightly within the spectacular new site, using a design strategy of minimal disturbance to preserve the area's natural beauty. The team was inspired by the beauty of the Georgian landscape to create a scheme that works in harmony with the environment, respects the animals that will inhabit it and allows people to observe them in a space akin to their natural habitat

The project's challenge was to preserve the site's timeless quality, to resist the temptation to embellish the structure with artifice and to ensure that the place became a viable recreation resource for the local community

The concept for these new islands is based upon the interpretation of the existing natural and urban context, as well as the conservation of local resources

The new facility is contemporary yet sensitive to the heritage features of the Adelaide Oval and incorporates much of the historic George Giffen Stand, the Sir Edwin Smith Stand and the Mostyn Evan Stand

The Rock is a 60-storey commercial tower in Chongqing. Its form is generated as the logical, contextual response to the topographical features that surround the city. The structure is intended to be both natural and embedded in its surroundings, at the same time being a distinctive and recognisable sculptural form

The Eastern Plaza project is centered on the creation of a new public plaza as a major arrival space for Melbourne Park, in addition to providing new entrance facilities to Hisense Arena, a new footbridge to AAMI Park Stadium and integration of an existing footbridge to the MCG

Dispensing with the traditional boundary between the Zoo and its surrounds, the new entrance invites visitors to view the sights and sounds of the Zoo from public forecourts.

The journey through the Giant Panda Forest provides visitors with an immersive experience of the Chinese Highlands and enables a variety of viewing opportunities, educational and recreational

Sustainability was integral to the design. The narrow floorplate of the clubhouse allows fresh air and daylight to penetrate all principal rooms. The building management system is connected to the lights and the mechanical ventilation, activating the adjustable sun shading and closing off air conditioning units as required

The design builds on Darwin’s strong cultural heritage, incorporating and interpreting the site’s historic headland landforms, re-establishing natural vegetation, and acknowledging indigenous associations and past uses. It extends the street pattern of the city, bringing it to the water’s edge like ‘fingers’ in the harbour

The Darwin Convention Centre is the centrepiece of the city's new A$1.1 billion Darwin Cove Redevelopment and has transformed the waterfront area to a destination drawcard for locals, business travellers and tourists

Magenta Shores successfully weaves a resort development into its local environment through sensitive design and planting, as well as protecting the integrity and beauty of its natural surroundings

A cable is suspended over a pond and playground, on it balances a series of sculptures which take on the shape of abstracted birds in flight. The light shapes pivot and rock in the breeze

The blocks display the different states of sandstone from a split block and roughly quarried blocks to finished and fine details. Carvings include replications of details found on the General Post Office, Government House, the Great Synagogue and St Mary's Cathedral

Our design strategy for this new 25 metre indoor pool was to propose a new 'walled' terrace above the original pool enclosure, echoing its form but not mimicking its character

Many of the project's innovations have now become normal practice, such as the preparation of the park's activity based programs in tandem with its physical design. Also, by leaving many spaces unplanned, opportunity has been provided for future generations to explore their ambitions on the site
