1) Mexican Pavilion–Italy
This was the project winner of the 2015 Milan World Expo, whose theme was “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”. The overlapping leaf shape pavilion designed by the architecture firm, Loguer Design, was inspired by Mexico's most famous food: corn. The layers resemble the dried corn husks.
2) Hotel Marques de Riscal – Spain
This is a luxurious vineyard hotel designed by Frank Gehry. The hotel's contorted and flowing rooftop is made of titanium and stainless steel. The brilliant colors displayed in the curves were by design, each meant to represent a different element of the vineyard. The pink to represent the wine, the gold to represent the mesh around Marques de Riscal’s wine bottles, and the silver to represent the bottles' capsules.
3) Terminal Connection– Denmark
Designed by Danielsen Architecture, this project is considered to be a great example of an architectural solution that meets clients requirements and adds stunning technical enhancements all within the confines of government regulation to make expressive improvements in a facility.
