Awesomeness Archive (Singapore):
Safdie Architects recent design, ‘Condominium at Bishan Central’, a 38-story residential complex in the Bishan district of Singapore. The structure specially provides air movement to individual units while the upper balconies provide ventilation.
The cluttered blocks of vertical space helps blend in the connections with nature with personal access to outdoor gardens.
Other than that, who would even THINK about swimming in that pool on top?

![Bitchin’ Building Design Concept of the Day: The Bjarke Injels Group, winners of an international competition to design Kazakhstan’s new 33,000sqm National Library, has proposed interlocking two separate metal structures to form a perfect Möbius strip.
The circle, the rotunda, the arch and the yurt are merged into the form of a Moebius strip. The clarity of the circle, the courtyard of the rotunda, the gateway of the arch and the soft silhouette of the yurt are combined to create a new national monument appearing local and universal, contemporary and timeless, unique and archetypal at the same time.
More info on the proposal, including hi-res diagrams and models, can be found here.
