5 Jan 2015

Design: Tabanlioglu Architects
Competition Project – 1st Place Award “1998”

Milas Bodrum International Airport is a transition point between regional effects. The airport is 40km to Bodrum center, 15km to Milas and 8km to Gulluk which is the closest sea coast. The building is located between the present domestic and international terminals, parallel to the apron.

The building consists of two main structures, namely, the “air side”, a transparent glass and steel linear scaffold to which the planes connect and the terminal building at the “land side”. Two structures intersect where the passengers leave the “national” area, emphasizing the passage.
On the south, in the terminal entrance/exit side, partially screen printed sheer glass and opaque glass applied and local natural stone wall in east and west directions of the building.

UCLA Outpatient Surgery and Oncology Center

Santa Monica, CaliforniaMichael W. Folonis Architects

 

This outpatient surgery, oncology treatment and medical office facility asserts that a more-natural and less-clinical environment promotes healing in patients and productive behavior in medical staff.  

 

The architects sought the maximum inclusion of natural lighting and ventilation, and an enhanced indoor-outdoor connection.  The design concept is inspired by the belief that principles of Modernism are the ideal means to realize the high standards of sustainability in healthcare design.  

 

The design achieves an aesthetic ideal, while delivering a patient-focused healing environment, the utility required by the owner, and the requirements for Gold LEED certification.  

 

This is the only project to win AIA-AAH Awards in both on-the-boards and built categories.
