ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS

Pacific Design Center

A 1,600,000-square-foot (150,000 m2) multi-use building for the design community is called the Pacific Design Center (PDC), and it is situated in West Hollywood, California. One of the structures is frequently referred to as the “Blue Whale” due to its enormous size in comparison to the nearby structures and its beautiful blue glass exterior.

Porta Nuova Garibaldi Complex

One of the biggest urban regeneration initiatives in Europe is focused on Porta Nuova Garibaldi. This expansive transit-focused community development project, the result of a dynamic public-private partnership, turns an abandoned industrial area into a popular tourist attraction for contemporary urban life.

National Museum of Art

With three floors of underground exhibition galleries and public gathering areas, this unique museum is fully underground. The museum’s entrance lobby features a monumental sculpture made of stainless steel, glass, and metal that stands out in Osaka’s skyline and was inspired by the native bamboo groves of the area.

Petronas Towers

They are identical towers in Kuala Lumpur. Cesar Pelli and Associates served as the Petronas Tower’s architect, and Thornton-Tomasetti Engineers served as the project’s structural engineer. The antenna spire is 451.9 meters high, while the roof is 378.6 meters tall. The skyscraper has 395,000m2 of floor space in total.

Torre de Cristal

In the Cuatro Torres Business Area (CTBA) of Madrid, Spain, a skyscraper named Torre de Cristal, which translates to “Glass Tower,” was built in 2008. It is now the fourth-tallest structure in the European Union after surpassing Torre Emperador to reach a final height of 249 m (817 ft), making it the tallest structure in Spain.
