Located in the city of Mississauga in Ontario, the two towers stand at about 492 and 557 feet, respectively. Apartments are located on each oval-shaped floor and the levels are rotated gradually to give the towers that unique curvy outline.<br />

The concept of the tower at the beginning was very simple. We just wanted to make something organic but different, more natural and more soft and not something too strong that would remind people of money or power. Lots of cities like this are happening in China, just repeating the modern urban typology and always making square towers. We were thinking; how about reversing that? So we don’t treat architecture as a product, or an artificial volume or space. It’s more like a landscape. </div>

Are you familiar with the term “cybertecture”? Well, in case you are not, let me explain the concept to you, as simple as possible. Cybertecture, is the point where architecture, technology and innovative engineering get together, in order to sculpt the urban environment. </div>

Pretty cool hah? Well, I sure think so.<br /><br />Not so sure yet? Just check out the Cybertecture Egg, in Mumbai, India, an astonishing 33,000 square meters office space, stacked in 13 stories with highly intelligent building management systems and 3 levels of basement providing 400 car parking spaces.<div>

According to <a href="http://www.jameslawcybertecture.com/">James Law Cybertecture</a>, the Architects, (or should I say the Cybertects?), behind this impressive office building structure, the Cybertecture Egg is a Cybertecture building that brings together iconic architecture, environmental design, intelligent control systems, and evolutionary engineering to create the most innovative building for the city of Mumbai and for India in the 21st Century. </div>

Pretty impressive right? The new Olympic Ice Rink, in Liege actually looks like a whale.<br />
<br />
Designed by <a href="http://www.escaut.org/">L'Escaut Architecture</a>, the Liege Ice Rink, is energy efficient and fun to be around.<br />
<br />
The Architects said:</div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
The new ice rink of Liège is embedded into a crevice of the Médiacité, private real estate development project which came to redevelop a former industrial site on the right bank of the Meuse. It inherits several constraints that it clarifies in an autonomous and unitary form, until incorporating the access to the mall's car park in its climax: the whale’s head.</blockquote>

Many of the newly displayed pieces include elements of Israeli society, from military conscription to the agricultural communes known as kibbutzim. Alongside these nationally inspired contributions, works by renowned German artist Anselm Kieffer – which were inspired by Jewish faith and mysticism – make up a special exhibit for the new wing's opening. The new wing, designed by Massachusetts architect Preston Scott Cohen, has doubled the size of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art by 19,000 sq. m. (200,000 sq. ft.) and lured a growing number of art fans through its new, triangular concrete and glass complex since its November 3 unveiling.</span></div><div><div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NXs4ePrZMzc/TuHiKUEdK4I/AAAAAAAAAXI/N6Lq-it_MR4/s400/18292_3_tel%2Baviv4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684072871532243842" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 189px; " /></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; font-size: small; ">Cohen’s building represents an unusual synthesis of two opposing paradigms for the contemporary museum: the museum of neutral white boxes and the museum of architectural spectacle.

As such, the roof of the interpretive centre has been planted with shrubs and grasses in order to minimise visual impact when viewed from a neighbouring hill (the historical position of the Gauls), and a wooden envelope constructed to reference the Roman fortifications of the era.
