Where are the magical buildings, not only in science fiction movies but also in real life? Casa magazine has selected 12 of the world's most noteworthy modern buildings, and this article will introduce 4 of them.

1. Lyon, France 2014 Confluence Museum

In addition to holding exhibitions in the fields of natural science, art, and cultural anthropology, the Confluence Museum also hosts concerts.

The Confluence Museum, designed by Coop Himmelb ( I ) au, Vienna, Austria, is located on an artificial peninsula at the confluence of the Saone and Rhone rivers in Lyon, France, and was completed in 2014. It is an anthropology museum.

The museum is mainly composed of three parts. The building named "Crystal" is the entrance to receive visitors, and it is only made of glass and steel. The "base" is the exhibition hall, into which a large amount of natural light can pour.

"Clouds" is a top lifted by columnar supports, with a winding appearance and a square space that can be freely entered and exited inside.

The design of the Confluence Museum in Lyon is intended to stimulate people's thinking. It is an open square where people can freely exchange knowledge, rather than a mysterious and profound Temple of Zeus.

2. Birmingham, UK, 2013 Birmingham Library

Completed in 2013, the Birmingham Library by Mecanoo Architecten is the largest in Europe. From afar, the building looks like 4 ornate jewel boxes stacked on top of each other.

This transparent glass building has extremely delicate metal skin and a colorful roof garden for people to read and communicate. In the words of the designer, "Today's library is just like the church in the past, it is a place of communication."

Therefore, the first floor is designed as a square for communication, and the semi-underground atrium can also be used as an amphitheater. There are also various facilities such as coffee shops and gift shops.

3. Schijndel, The Netherlands, 2013 Glass Farm Complex

The Glass Farm, designed and built by the famous Dutch architectural firm MVRDV, was completed in 2013. Unlike the farmhouse in the traditional impression, the building is a giant translucent glass box greenhouse with an area of 1600 square meters.

The reason why the farmhouse is translucent is that the farmhouse is not built of bricks. The appearance of the red bricks on the surface is revealed by taking pictures of the local traditional farms, magnifying them by 1.6 times, and then "printing" the original pictures on the outer glass.

The enlarged "gate" is about 4 meters high, and from a distance, the locals can't help but miss the appearance of their childhood farmhouse.

The location of the glass farm is the Dutch town of Schijndel, which is also the hometown of Winy Maas, one of the partners of MVRDV. Since 1980, Winy Maas has successively proposed various proposals to help rebuild local municipal buildings, etc. Among them, the architectural proposal for the farmhouse was finalized in 2000 after seven renovations. There are coffee shops, ice cream shops, and other small shops inside the building. Using the fritting technique, the image is printed on the glass.

4. Bordeaux, France, 2015 New Bordeaux Stadium

The new Bordeaux stadium was inaugurated in 2015 by Herzog & de Meuron. In the words of the designer, "It is a pure, geometrically bright, light, open, and elegant epoch-making building.

" 900 white slender columns support the roof of the gymnasium and the seats below. The image of the column is taken from the pine trees in the forest in the southern region of Bordeaux.

The elegant buildings are integrated with the surrounding grand scenery. Although the white pillars support the seats, they do not appear in the sight of the audience, allowing people to concentrate on the game without being disturbed.

This is a stadium with a capacity of up to 42,000 people, and it is also the main venue of Euro 2016.
