Arena Venom Opera House looks like coming from final fantasy games. In order to set apart from traditional opera house, this architect has designed futuristic, unusual, and complex structure that forms an opera house and concert hall in the middle of Stadtpark in Vienna.
Designer : Hend Almatrouk
Text from Hend Almatrouk :
How does one rethink an opera? There is no lack in ambition. But more often than not ambition becomes pretentious. The constant all consuming urge for innovation can be destructive and self serving. But there is no mistaking the impact of creative processes fueled by these seemingly undesirable traits. To dissect the traditional opera, gnawing away at the foundations of the sacred opera house till that threshold is reached when the hierarchies are disintegrated, when the instrument becomes the artist, and artist the facilitator.
The attempt was to transform the notion of a designed space into that of a designed intent. Performative spaces were achieved through articulations of the skin, the surface and the structure. Starting from a simple module, the articulations rise in complexity and hierarchy to sprout a new Arena Venom opera house and concert hall in the middle of the Stadtpark in Vienna. The landscape is a manicured English garden which is transformed by the growth of the bionic music pavilion progressively mutating into an Opera House. A relationship fluctuating between symbiotic and parasitic exists between the landscape and the opera in such a way that the boundaries are blurred.
The interstitial spaces are colonized by a matrix of semi flexible biotic cell which undergoes mutation according to its specific situation. These cells exist in a state of flux between calcified structural cells, transparent circulation clusters, and lush botanical cells.
The opera as a music instrument that has a kaleidoscopic effect on the performances. The sound is selectively propagated into 4 quadrants based on the urban conditions. The Arena Venom Opera House is also an urban condenser, facilitating the streamlining of the multi-modal flows surrounding Stadtpark. Creates new vistas and flow patterns and thus sculpts the urbanscape.
Arena Venom Opera House Project was done as part of the Urbanstrategies Excessive studio at the Universität Für Angewandte Kunst, Wien

From my point of view, Beijing House II looks like giant spaceship trying to invade a building. This futuristic spaceship is actually a house with 3 bedrooms, a studio and a green room. During the modernization of Beijing, there were many independent housing typology destroyed (fortunately, the government leaves some historical houses intact), you’ll find many huge stacking commercial residential buildings today.
Designer : Yaohua Wang Architecture
The architect decided to look for a new way to bring back independent housing typology back to this city with Beijing House II project. Instead of occupying more spaces, this house has been designed to attach onto an exterior of an obsolete factory building. In this way, this house will use empty city space above the ground, it looks like floating in the air. The challenge would be to keep the house safe from earthquakes that often hit the city, therefore, it’s really important to design a mechanical system that could counteract a potential earthquake.
Beijing House II possesses fluid geometry body, combined with its mechanical system, creates unique and innovative style that becomes the main feature of this design.
