The picture represents the Beijing Xinhua Bookstore, but to be more specific it’s a structure outside China’s bookstore which contains one of the biggest collection of books. We are not sure what they intended to do with the construction but I am sure that many of you tried to climb up the book-stairs when nobody was watching. Instead of trying to reach the heaven by climbing on the structure you should get inside and improve one’s mind.

Pritzker Prize winning architect Zaha Hadid has another attractive project on her hands. The Civil Court from Madrid impresses through its flashy design, with an intriguing and intelligent façade. Made of metallic panels, this double-ventilated envelope is a dynamic component created to regulate the building’s indoor environment. Opening and closing, the façade has the role of controlling and moderating heating, cooling and ventilation.

The building will have 74,500 square meters (around 800,000 square feet) and will contain, basically, a spiraling semi-circular atrium and an interior public courtyard. Its design is meant to connect the building with the surrounding campus and attract visitors. Constructors have set a 2 years deadline for the completion of this beautiful Civil Court.
