10 Khan Shatyr
The Khan Shatyr is already a reality! It is an immense transparent tent in the centre of Astana – the new capital city of Kazakhstan. It serves as both a cultural center and a place for social interaction amongst the city residents. The climate in Astana is rather harsh with winter temperatures dropping to -35c (-31F).
9 Nuragic & Contemporary Art Museum
The Nuragic and Contemporary Art Museum in Cagliari, Italy, ran a competition for the design of their new building. Zaha Hadid architects won the bid with this incredible design which covers 12,000 square meters!
8 Hangzhou Waves
The Hangzhou Waves is a design for a five star hotel and office block in Hangzhou China. The design actually comprises two buildings which complement each other. A large number of other pictures illustrating how amazing this hotel is going to be can be seen here.
