At the heart of all cultural architecture is exchange. Drawing people, buildings and experiences together, these projects are made to connect us to larger ideas and each other. From museums to theaters and libraries, cultural projects reflect contemporary life. This year, the 2021 A+Awards<\/a> winners include an iconic collection of structures built around the globe. Each project rethinks what exchange looks like between people, architecture and place. In turn, they boldly look to the future of design.<\/p>\n

Drawn from diverse geographies, the following projects include both Jury and Popular Choice award winners. Whether expanding the formal, spatial or experiential potential of architecture, they each implement new ideas on construction and craft, as well as human connection. Made as landmarks, civic spaces and icons, they explore what it means to live together today.<\/p>\n

\"cultural \"culturalForum Groningen<\/a><\/strong> by NL Architects<\/a>, Groningen, Netherlands
\nJury Winner, 2021 A+Awards, Institutional – Libraries<\/p>\n

\"cultural \"culturalDysis Church of Poly Shallow Sea<\/a><\/strong> by Shanghai United Design Group<\/a>, Sanya, China
\nPopular Choice, 2021 A+Awards, Religious Buildings & Memorials<\/p>\n

Cultural projects span a wide variety of typologies. For this church project, the architects aimed to capture the most important elements of nature: the sea, the sky, and the sunset. To this triad they added two powerful artificial elements: triangle and circle.<\/p>\n

As they note, the simple and powerful triangle is an eternal monument standing between the sea and the sky, and the shape that pierces the sky carries a strong spirituality. The light of the setting sun, passing through the gap in between, materializes perception of time. The rotating device can follow the position of the setting sun in the four seasons and interpret the meaning of “the moment is eternity.”<\/p>\n

\"cultural \"culturalHe Art Museum<\/a><\/strong> by Tadao Ando Architect & Associates<\/a>, Foshan, China

The design pursues the philosophy of spatial integration, involving geometrical design elements \u2014 square and circle \u2014 to create a sense of contrast. Exemplified by the world\u2019s first and only double-helix staircase made with slick concrete and spacious innovative exhibition halls in circular structure, the design provides a generative space to create multi-dimensional cultural and artistic experiences.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"culturalCradle Mountain Visitor Centre<\/a><\/strong> by Cumulus Studio<\/a>, TAS, Australia
\nJury Winner, 2021 A+Awards, Cultural & Expo Centers<\/p>\n

Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre was designed as a cultural building of contrasts. The project\u2019s raw exterior unwinds into a warm, soft, delicate timber lining. The building is the first development in a major plan to reimagine the iconic Cradle Mountain experience. It offers a warm alpine welcome to reflect both the sense of rugged-up anticipation on arrival and the distinctive geology that surrounds it. The team designed the buildings to feel grounded, as if carved from a solid rock by a glacier. The umbrella rain-screen form references the folding angular geology of the site, inviting visitors into the cave-like timber interior.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"culturalHoi Ha Visitor Centre<\/strong><\/a> by ArchSD<\/a>, Hong Kong

\"\" \"culturalYabuli Entrepreneurs’ Congress Center<\/a> <\/strong>by MAD Architects<\/a>, Shangzhi, Harbin, China
\nJury Winner, 2021 A+Awards,\u00a0Hall \/ Theater<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s location in Northeastern China is known for its rugged terrain and frigid temperatures, particularly its snow-capped mountains and innocent snowfields. It’s also home to annual summits hosted by the China Entrepreneur Forum (CEF) \u2013 an internationally known economic platform considered as the ‘Davos of Asia.’ In 2017, the CEF decided to construct a permanent venue for itself.
