Without much introduction or fanfare, submitted here for your consideration are a dozen great building that emerged over the courseof 2005. None of these projects are, admittedly, found outside Europe or North America, and none are designed by Lord Norman Foster or Frank Gehry, the foremost architectural minds of our day.
But I make no apologies. In their defense, these buildings are quite varied, both typologically (noted for convenience) as well as stylisticallyand thematically (omitted to spare you).
In other words, there's a little something for everyone.
One caveat, however: Not all of these works actually had ribbon-cuttings in 2005, but they all became completed, occupied, usable and publishable last year.
If you haven't seen these works yet, now's the time to add them to your schedule. In their own ways, these works are defining what architecture will become tomorrow. Are you curious about our built future? Then have a look.
1. Best Civic Building:
Scottish Parliament Building (Holyrood)
Edinburgh, Scotland
Architect: Enric Miralles (EMBT/RMJM)
This is last year's best damn building, period. Not in several decades have we seen such a spectacularly mannerist display of referential organic ornament and creative space-making by one talent. That person, of course, was the late Catalonian, Enric Miralles, whose death in 2000 left his partner and wife, the gifted Benedetta Tagliabue, to finish this work.
Unlike the homes of most legislative bodies, Holyrood captures the anti-Classical and nonhierarchical nature of this Scottish institution. Miralles's swansong also employed materials and methods that make the place healthy and environmentally benign in ways truly perceptible to the eye. Miralles abstracted numerous historical references into a rich variety of forms, enlacing its warm, humane spaces. The effect is one of building a new small city in a way never quite seen before.
2. Best Museums:
de Young Museum, San Francisco
and Walker Arts Center Expansion, Minneapolis
Architect: Herzog & de Meuron
Forgive me the plural here, but Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron continue to astonish. Their work stands well above anything else produced today, giving us reasons to see anew a Minneapolis institution and a reopened destination in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.
The projects provide unique parallels: The warped cube of the $70 million Walker is wrapped in a crinkled aluminum mesh, while the de Young's stacked massing is contained by a skin of perforated and embossed copper. Both have apparent blocked masses cut through with skylights, courtyards or terraces; both integrate landscaping and naturalistic forms in one way or another. And they generate drama: At the de Young, a 144-foot education tower gently spirals aloft, while in Minneapolis, a Herculean cantilever creates a memorable new entrance on Hennepin Avenue.
(Yes,I know: By omission, I've dissed New York City's MoMA, and the fine-framed views and minimalist detailing of Tokyo's Yoshio Taniguchi. But the stream of unimpressed visitors exiting its cold galleries over the last year, I believe, validates choices elsewhere.)
3. Best Tower:
Agbar Tower
Barcelona
Architect: Jean Nouvel
Now another Frenchman dreams with Dalí and Gaudí: Jean Nouvel, whose new Catalonian tower is inspired as much by the hills of Montserrat as the spires of Sagrada Familia. The architect clads the 142-meter-tall oval cylinder in two skins: a polished aluminum in earthy blues, greens and grays enclosed by 60,000 sheets of clear and frosted glass. The effect obscures and dematerializes the shaft's 4,500 windows, tie-dyed in 40 dreamlike colors. Inside, a second cylinder, slightly off center, encloses elevators and stairs: No columns to mar the 31 spaciousfloorplates within. Like the famous Gaudinian cathedral, this was an epic undertaking as well, taking fully six years to build.
4. Best Factory:
BMW Central Plant
Leipzig, Germany
Architect: Zaha Hadid
Finally emerging from a hermetic world of high architectural theory and startling oil paintings, Zaha Hadid built big in 2005. (Her first major building, a museum, opened to applause two years earlier in Cincinnati.) The Central Building for BMW in Leipzig gives form to the notion of modern automated manufacturing. Connecting several auto assembly buildings and threaded through with actual production lines carrying half-built vehicles, this nerve center reflects the flow of ideas, people, and components through BMW's complex.
Finally, Hadid has found the criss-crossing trajectories (and the risk-taking client) to validate her deconstructed, sinuous forms and razor-sharp angles. The result is staggering.
5. Best Government Offices:
Caltrans District 7 Headquarters
Los Angeles
Architect: Thom Mayne / Morphosis
Thom Mayne, last year's winner of the high-prestige Pritzker Prize, has called the $190 million Caltrans offices "a very, very simple piece ofwork, designed and built in three years for absolutely no money."
Yet the result, like much of Mayne's oeuvre, is technically complex and highly evocative of its roots. For example, the 13-story, L-shaped structure sports a kinetic cladding of aluminum and glass that opens or closes based on weather conditions and solar angle. Photovoltaic cells line the south face, generating solar power for the occupants. And an outdoor lobby for public events features Motordom, a four-story work by artist Keith Donnier.
With its exaggerated structural elements and quirky façades, the building's outward image suggests the freeway culture that its owner, the state department of transportation, oversees. The result blends in with its context–in spite of its quirky self.
6. Best Expansion:
High Museum of Art
Atlanta
Architect: Renzo Piano
The magical daylight infusing Renzo Piano's recent works–at his Nasher inDallas, especially–again takes center stage at the expanded High Museum, alongside Richard Meier's 1983 attempt. A thousand light scoops face southward like sunflowers, or a platoon of robot soldiers, capturing and diffusing rays among the collection hanging in 17-foot-high upper galleries. The intimate piazza created by the new, bright-white structures comforts and shades visitors, in spite of their harsh aluminum and glass edges. Simple glass bridges span the gallery volumes.
Meier undoubtedly approves of the new quad on the Woodruff Arts Center campus. But while Piano respectfully maintained Meier's original design concept, the original spaces disappoint even more so today, next to the contained brilliance of t

1. 最好的市建筑物:
苏格兰的国会建筑物 (Holyrood)
爱丁堡, 苏格兰
造物主: Enric Miralles(EMBT/RMJM)
这是去年最好的一点建筑物，时期。 不是在一些十年内看到我们指示的有机装饰的如此一公开展示的 mannerist 炫耀和有创造力的制造空间的藉着一个才能。那个人,当然,是迟的 Catalonian,Enric Miralles,谁的死亡在 2000 向左完成这个工作的他合伙人和妻子,有天才的 Benedetta Tagliabue,。
不像最大多数的立法机构身体的家， Holyrood 捕获那反古典的和这个苏格兰的机构 nonhierarchical 性质。 Miralles's swansong 也雇用了材料和使地方健康的和环境的良性在方法中真实地可察觉到眼睛的方法。 Miralles 摘录很多的历史叁考进表格的一个富有的多样性之内,enlacing 它的温暖, 有人情的空间。 效果在一定程度上 从不相当建筑一座新的小城市是一看到以前。
