PS Arhitektur architects did a fabulous job creating new offices for Skype in historical building (ex brewery for that fact) Munchenbryggeriet in Stockholm. The interior represents strong company concept, full with playfulness and fresh approach. The experimentation with colours between white walls and modern furniture made this interior consumers friendly space, especially for the employees. I wonder...did they sneak peeked at google? Regardless, I would definitely work there, won`t you?
Though here, the ultimate project was Jean Nouvel`s Institute de Monde Arabe- which for me is still most fabulous high-tech building, Zaha successfully managed not to destroy the balance of primar building. Though her creation still obbeys the law of Zaha`s world (morphological forms), she managed not to attract attention only to her building. As if to say that the symbiosis was the main goal.
Zaha again did a fantastic job and also put Chanel pavilion to a higher level. Though I`m not a fan of (so much) organic architecture, she always proves me wrong...
ZeBar is also one of the sliced architecture... I just love how this simple element by multiplication creates unique and extraordinary space. The play between shadow and light creates Zebra like stripes and almost a touchable texture. The lights are integrated, so the space is purified of any unnecessity. Just the rounded bar and the space to seat in... Well, maybe also the sitting area could be in the same concept as the space-only stripes and that`s it. I guess everyone would do it differently...But anyway, I love it! :)
Through cutted mirrors came simple, yet a multi-experience space, where people can go inside and feel the silence and privacy, though still in the centre of movement. Or can just admire the sculpture from outside in.. Simple but still intelligently impregnated onto location..
So this one is of course spanish architecture, a result of a competition between three offices, where Pedro Reis won. The border line between inner and outdoor is almost not seen, the elements of water is the plot, and the human is a roll figure in this play... 
Thank god it`s almost summer, because all I see nowadays is colours.
For some times I think I avoided colours, as too much would ruin the pure concept of the building... But now I am really glad to see more and more architecture, which explore the meaning, function and the atmosphere of colours in architecture.
The colours makes you look up when entering the building and almoust force you to see the sky, wait a minute and just enjoy...
