“Jaw Piece" - Alexander McQueen SS98

British jewelry designer Shaun Leane trained and worked as a goldsmith and fine jeweler before collaborating with designer Alexander McQueen in the early 1990s. For McQueen, Leane experimented with non-precious and unconventional materials in designs for atavistic and fetishistic objects. Leane created this jaw-piece, a cast aluminum section of a male jaw with broken and missing teeth, along with a female version and a cast aluminum “Spine” corset, to expose the anatomical structure of the body. The skeletal pieces draw on the tradition of memento mori jewelry, with cast bone serving as a reference to death and the transience of human experience.

Naturence - Health Supplement Food by Jiyoun Kim

Jiyoun Kim Studio undertook a brand renewal project covering the entire product lines of health supplement food company Naturence. With product lines such as multivitamin, folic acid, omega3, and vitamin D, Natureons is a high-technology company that has an advantage in extracting and synthesizing ingredients from plant-based materials. Jiyoun Kim judged that the differentiating point of Naturence itself was the technology that synthesizes their detailed manufacturing processes and know-how on pills. We wanted to look at the nature of the dietary supplement itself and project the unique colors of the pills to the brand through the translucent package.

Haus zur Blume by Marazzi Reinhardt

Zur Blume is a baroque farmhouse in the center of the municipality of Löhningen, a small village in the north of Switzerland. The building is part of the historical row development along the main street. The space where the barn once stood was left as a void for years. The new building, which extends the main house, fills this empty space. In this way, two generous flats, flexible in their use and with different spacial qualities, are created as a new ensemble.

Brunstorp by Arrhov Frick Arkitektkontor

The site at Brunstorp, sitting just outside the city of Jönköping, tested the challenges facing the Swedish building industry. Restricted by the local market, in a sparsely populated area, was the opportunity to design 90 housing units. The fundamental task was to create cost-effective housing at a high standard of living.

Reconstruction of St Moritz Church by John Pawson

The church of St Moritz has been through many changes since its foundation nearly a thousand years ago. Devastating fires, changes in liturgical practice, aesthetic evolution and wartime bombing have each left their mark on the fabric of the building. The purpose of this latest intervention has been to retune the existing architecture, from aesthetic, functional and liturgical perspectives, with considerations of sacred atmosphere always at the heart of the project.

The Barn by ZIEGLER Antonin architecte

In the Regional Natural Park of Boucles de la Seine, a barn in ruins was reconverted into a place of residence. Abandoned at the edge of the river, it used to hold the fodder for the haulage horses. Its thin weatherboarding had been worn away over time – only the timber framework remained.

Tate Modern changed London when it first opened in 2000. Herzog & de Meuron transformed the derelict Bankside Power Station into a home for the UK’s collection of international modern and contemporary art, sparking local regeneration and creating a new landmark on the Thames. The power station’s original Boiler House was converted into galleries, learning studios and social spaces, while its Turbine Hall was turned into a huge open space for special commissions and events. Tate Modern quickly became the world’s most popular museum of modern art, attracting around 5 million visitors each year – more than double the number for which it was designed – while its collection grew to encompass a huge variety of art from around the world.
