The 14-story hospital tower at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago is a landmark of patient-centric design, known for its distinctive "butterfly" plan shape. Designed by Perkins&Will, this geometry minimizes walking distances for staff and maximizes natural light for patient rooms. The facility was designed with surge capacity in mind, capable of handling large-scale health events like pandemics, and was the largest new construction healthcare project in the world to receive LEED Gold certification at its opening.

Apple Park, the commercial headquarters of Apple Inc. in Cupertino, is one of the world's most energy-efficient buildings. Designed by Foster + Partners, the 2.8 million sq ft main building runs on 100% renewable energy, powered largely by a 17-megawatt rooftop solar installation—one of the largest on-site solar energy systems in the world. The "Spaceship" design integrates extensive natural ventilation, requiring no heating or cooling for nine months of the year, and is surrounded by a re-naturalized landscape of orchards and oak savannahs.

Golden 1 Center in Sacramento is the world's first 100% solar-powered professional sports venue. Designed by AECOM, the arena features five aircraft-hangar-sized doors that open to let the Delta breeze naturally cool the interior, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor. It achieved LEED Platinum certification (the first for an indoor arena) and uses 45% less water and 30% less energy than comparable venues.

The Guangzhou Opera House is a "double pebble" structure washed away by the Pearl River, designed by Zaha Hadid. The complex features a custom molded glass-fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRC) interior that allows for continuous, fluid surfaces. The main 1,800-seat auditorium is asymmetrical to optimize acoustics and views, utilizing the latest sound technology within its organic form. It is considered a monument to the new millennium in China.

The NVIDIA headquarters in Santa Clara, comprised of the Endeavor and Voyager buildings, is a testament to the "triangle" - the fundamental building block of computer graphics. Designed by Gensler, the campus layout is mathematically optimized to minimize walking distances and promote accidental collaboration. The structures feature massive triangulated roof canopies with 245 distinctive skylights that flood the "soaring internal volume" with diffused natural light.

Tate Modern is a world-renowned art gallery housed in the former Bankside Power Station. Herzog & de Meuron led the original adaptive reuse (2000), transforming the vast Turbine Hall into a public gathering space. In 2016, they completed the Blavatnik Building (Switch House), a twisted pyramid extension clad in a perforated lattice of 336,000 bricks. The design reinterprets the power station's industrial aesthetic while providing diverse spaces for art and performance.

The Shanghai Natural History Museum in the Jing'an Sculpture Park is a bioclimatic building inspired by the nautilus shell, one of the purest geometric forms in nature. Designed by Perkins&Will, the museum features a distinct "cellular wall" representing the structure of plants and animals. Its intelligent skin minimizes solar gain, while a central pond in the courtyard provides evaporative cooling. The project seamlessly integrates exhibition spaces with the surrounding park.

London's first ecological tall building and an instantly recognisable addition to the city's skyline, this headquarters designed for Swiss Re is rooted in a radical approach − technically, architecturally, socially and spatially. Forty-one storeys high, it provides 46,400 square metres net of office space together with an arcade of shops and cafés accessed from a newly created piazza. At the summit is a club room that offers a spectacular 360-degree panorama across the capital. Generated by a circular plan, with a radial geometry, the building widens in profile as it rises and tapers towards its apex. This distinctive form responds to the constraints of the site: the building appears more slender than a rectangular block of equivalent size and the slimming of its profile towards the base maximises the public realm at street level. Environmentally, its profile reduces wind deflections compared with a rectilinear tower of similar size, helping to maintain a comfortable environment at ground level, and creates external pressure differentials that are exploited to drive a unique system of natural ventilation. Conceptually the tower develops ideas explored in the Commerzbank and before that in the Climatroffice, a theoretical project with Buckminster Fuller that suggested a new rapport between nature and the workplace, its energy-conscious enclosure resolving walls and roof into a continuous triangulated skin. Here, the tower's diagonally braced structure allows column-free floor space and a fully glazed facade, which opens up the building to light and views. Atria between the radiating fingers of each floor link vertically to form a series of informal break-out spaces that spiral up the building. These spaces are a natural social focus – places for refreshment points and meeting areas – and function as the building's "lungs", distributing fresh air drawn in through opening panels in the facade. This system reduces the building's reliance on air conditioning and together with other sustainable measures, means that it uses only half the energy consumed by a conventionally air-conditioned office tower. The Swiss Re tower is arguably the most important 21st century landmark in London.

One Vanderbilt is a 1,401-foot supertall skyscraper that redefines the Manhattan skyline and the experience of Grand Central Terminal. Designed by KPF, the tower features a tapered form comprised of four interlocking volumes that spiral up to the sky. Its facade of terracotta and glass pays homage to the details of Grand Central, to which it is directly connected. The building includes "SUMMIT," a multi-sensory observation deck, and achieves the highest standards of sustainability.

Nestled in the rapidly urbanizing landscape of Gurgaon, this contemporary residential complex redefines urban living through a harmonious blend of minimalist aesthetics, functional design, and ecological sensitivity. Comprising a row of multi-story townhouses, the project is conceived as a premium enclave for discerning residents seeking both privacy and community in a metropolitan setting. The architectural language of the complex is distinctly modern, characterized by clean lines, geometric precision, and a restrained material palette. Each townhouse unit is articulated through a rhythmic interplay of concrete volumes and expansive glass surfaces, creating a dynamic façade that balances solidity with transparency. The use of cantilevered balconies, adorned with curated potted plants, introduces a sculptural quality to the elevation while offering shaded outdoor spaces that extend the living areas. The structural system employs reinforced concrete frames with high-performance glazing, ensuring both thermal efficiency and acoustic insulation. The façade treatment incorporates textured concrete panels and matte-finished aluminum cladding, lending a sophisticated yet understated visual identity. Large floor-to-ceiling windows are strategically positioned to maximize daylight penetration and cross-ventilation, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and mechanical cooling. Spatial planning within each unit emphasizes vertical zoning and spatial fluidity. The ground level accommodates vehicular parking and service areas, seamlessly integrated into the landscape design to avoid visual clutter. The first and second floors house the primary living spaces, with open-plan layouts that encourage interaction and flexibility. Bedrooms are positioned to optimize privacy and views, while internal staircases are designed as architectural features, using floating treads and glass balustrades to enhance spatial openness. Landscape design plays a pivotal role in the overall experience of the complex. A paved driveway runs parallel to the row of townhouses, flanked by native shrubs and ornamental trees that soften the built edges and create a welcoming approach. The planting palette is chosen for its drought resistance and seasonal variation, contributing to the project's sustainability goals. Rainwater harvesting systems and permeable paving further reinforce the ecological ethos of the development. The complex is designed to foster a sense of community without compromising individual privacy. Shared amenities such as pedestrian pathways, seating alcoves, and green pockets are interspersed throughout the site, encouraging casual interaction among residents. Lighting design is subtle and functional, using warm LED fixtures to highlight architectural features and ensure safety during nighttime. Located in Gurgaon—a city known for its rapid growth and cosmopolitan character—the project responds to the evolving aspirations of urban dwellers. It offers a refined residential typology that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsibility. The design is future-ready, adaptable to smart home technologies and compliant with green building standards.
