Peering into the future of engagement and collaboration at the Youth Hub in Dubai.

The Sumida Hokusai Museum on Tokyo’s east side is beautifully sited on Midoricho Park. What starts as four structures at grade converges into one building with crevices and slices cut into it. These acute cuts cleverly frame views out to the Tokyo Skytree, Midoricho Park and Hokusai’s birthplace in Ryogoku. Sejima has created a gleaming jewel on the park, rising out of humble surroundings and framing well-used urban rooms.

Cities bring out the best and worst in people. When you live in a city like Tokyo you enter into a social contract with the people around you to be cordial, patient and kind. Give and take is a precious balancing act here and only in Japan and in Tokyo is is it nearly perfect because of its generous and wonderful people.

Globe Live is a publicly accessible 150m long structure with a 36 meter glass bridge in the Fort Bonifacio Global City (BGC). The Fort was previously a military base but a large scale urban redevelopment effort has turned it into one of Manila’s most desirable CBDs. Globe Live is situated on the Bonifacio High Street greenbelt which runs through the heart of development, offering public space and much needed green within the concrete jungle of Manila. Globe Live is strategically integrated within existing site conditions by framing two public plazas that will cater both to Globe’s retail business and act as an integrated community amenity. The structure leverages on the greenbelt and existing outdoor theater to create a retail and event space. The glass bridge is a landmark in BGC and provides Globe with a platform to directly interact with the public through live music, performances, screenings, and release events. This building reflects the shift of the company’s focus from selling mere bandwidth to emerging as a premier content provider throughout the Philippines.

A new vertical co-working concept by TSUTAYA called BOOK APARTMENT brings affordable workspaces to the heart of Shinjuku. There’s a dedicated Women-only Floor, showers, cafe, and semi-private areas for ‘living.’ It’s a buzzing hive of activity late into the night.
