ThyssenKrupp Steel Kindergarten
“Understated, metallic and perfectly harmonised,” is how ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe describes its recently launched ReflectionsPearl® range, but it is also an accurate description the company’s colourful new kindergarten in Duisburg, which makes good use of the coil-coated steel façade system.

Bilbao Arena
Architectural practice ACXT admits that local geology and vegetation were both influential in the design of the striking Bilbao Arena and Sports Centre, which occupies a steeply inclined site, within a park, in the city’s central Miribilla district.

City Hall Gauchy
Should you choose to get married in the town of Gauchy en Vermandois, in the Picardy region of France near the Belgian border, you may find yourself a little distracted while taking your vows. Architect Dubosc & Associes has carefully sited the city hall so that the marriage room enjoys spectacular views across the valley. This is calming, one hopes, for tattered nerves rather than a distraction for anyone who is wondering if they have made the right decision.
