The Mint / FJMT
The Mint Project is the transformation of one of Sydney’s oldest and most precious historical sites on Macquarie Street into a new meaningful public place formed and characterised as much by the carefully inserted contemporary buildings as the conserved and adapted heritage structures. It is a project that seeks to set a new and important benchmark for (read more…) (more…)

Here are five amazing projects you may have missed last week. Out Best of the Week selection, after the break.

1111 Lincoln Road / Herzog & de Meuron
This mixed use project is currently being built at the corner of Alton and Lincoln, one of the most active pedestrian areas in the city, and it will include residences, retail spaces and parking. Parking takes a central space in this building, with one of the best views I have ever seen on a parking space (read more…) (more…)

Amazing projects from Europe and South Africa, and even a Herzog & de Meuron special you may have missed last week. Check them all after the break.

Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre / Peter Rich Architects
Last year, architectural photographer Iwan Baan took a trip to South Africa to visit the Mapungubwe Interpretation Center designed by Peter Rich Architects. The 1,500 sqm visitor’s center includes spaces to tell the stories of the place and house artifacts, along with tourist facilities and SANParks offices. The complex is a collection of stone cladded vaults balancing on the sloped site, against the backdrop of Sandstone formations and mopane woodlands (read more…) (more…)

Last week was great for ArchDaily. We featured some really great projects and we featured an amazing video of pixelated New York that you can’t miss! Check our selection after the break.

Moderna Museet Malmö / Tham & Videgård Arkitekter
A starting point was that a new art museum, a public and cultural building, represents a rare opportunity to create a new node within the city, the urban balance is changed and the neighborhood develops. In Malmö, in the south of Sweden, there was also the possibility to, starting from the industrial architecture of the former Electricity plant dating from the year 1900 create a new art museum with an informal and experimental character (read more…) (more…)

Have you been on a vacation for the past week? Turned off your computer and coming back today? Either way, there may be some great posts we featured last week we don’t want you to miss. Check them all after the break.

The MA: Andalucia’s Museum of Memory / Alberto Campo Baeza
We would like to make “the most beautiful building” for the Museo de al Memoria de Andalucía (Andalusia’s Museum of Memory) in Granada. The MA. A museum that wishes to transmit the entire history of Andalusia. As early as Roman times, Strabo described the inhabitants of Andalusia as “the most cultivated of the Iberians, who have laws in verse.” (read more…) (more…)

A museum in Portugal, Nestlé offices in Chile, a restaurant in USA, medical housing in Sudan, and updates on the Shanghai Pavilions! What a week we’ve had. Don’t miss our selection of the best of the week, after the break.

Museum of Art and Archaeology of the Côa Valley / Camilo Rebelo
The Palaeolithic art in the Coa Valley is perhaps man’s first land art manifestation. The Museum is conceived as an installation in the landscape. The monolithic triangular form is a direct result of the valley’s confluences. Its materiality evokes the local stone yards and reflects two different natures: the concrete’s matter, and the local stone’s texture and colour (read more…) (more…)

Did you turned off your computer on Friday and have just turn it on again? Here are three great projects you may have missed this weekend. Check all of them after the break.

Learning Center / Sebastian Mariscal Studio
The city of Tijuana is in constant acceleration as it keeps pace with the people that rush to approach it with increasing intensity. It offers the virtue of contrast for this Learning Center clothed in aged wood. The façade bears no signs and no indication of what the building holds, rather it invites the curious visitor to find for himself a plaza where water pours slowly into a pool, calling the sun’s rays to dance on its surface (read more…) (more…)

Houses, an office, a culture center, and a bubble. Yes, a bubble. All of them, great projects you may have missed this week. Check them all after the break.

VitraHaus / Herzog & de Meuron
Over the years the Vitra Campus has become an architecture museum, featuring works by the most renowned architects: Frank Ghery, Zaha Hadid, Alvaro Siza, Tadao Ando, Jean Pruvé, Nicholas Grimshaw, Buckminster Fuller and SANAA (under construction). The latest addition to the complex is the VitraHaus building, a series of stacked pitched-roof boxed, designed by Herzog & de Meuron for Vitra’s Home Collection (read more…) (more…)

Just in case you missed any, here’s our selection of best posts of the week. Check them all after the break!

Conference Center in Ibiza / UP Arquitectos
The formal result of this first building depends largely on its relationship with the rest of the proposal, and as such its justification lies in the completion of both buildings. In the future, one will be in debt to the other: the Palace will form its own enclosure, understandable from the first glance, from which Cultural Center will take shape, itself divided into multiple volumes, each with its own activity (read more…) (more…)

As we told you last week, we will be running every Friday a selection of the posts that you may have missed this week. For example, you have to check the five finalists for each category on our Building of the Year 2009 and cast your vote. See the other must-see posts after the break.

Rosa Muerta / Robert Stone
After visiting his website, I got in touch with Robert Stone and exchanged a few emails… He is a reader of ArchDaily and was very excited to share his work with the readers, and I was also very excited about it after learning more about him and what is behind Rosa Muerta and other projects he has been working on in the California desert (read more…) (more…)
