Matteo Thun & Partners has developped a new Design for student Housing for German YOUNIQ AG. This concept is intended as an upgrade to the company’s student lifestyle projects.

The new approach includes the use of modular construction with wood as building material. Two prototypes of the new design and the modular structure should be realized in Munich in 2011.

SPACE was selected to design the new final departure lounge at terminal 2 of Mexico City airport sponsored by a recognized brand of financial services and credit cards.

The main challenge was to generate a symbolic multi-purpose space that fits the image of the lounge’s marketing sponsor. A specialized branding team was involved in this project alongside the architects to generate a hybrid product that fuses Branding and Architecture.

Each year, the National Trust bestows awards upon individuals, nonprofit organizations, public agencies and corporations whose contributions, it considers, represent singular success in preserving, rehabilitating, or interpreting America’s architectural and cultural heritage.

Here is a list of the 2010 National Preservation Honor Award Winners:
