Scott Brownrigg's Heathrow West proposal reimagines airport infrastructure as a public gateway. Kerry Hill Architects' three-tower precinct in Brisbane prioritizes public space and subtropical landscapes within high-density housing. Zaha Hadid Architects' beachfront tower in Florida continues Miami's sculptural coastal tradition. Pharrell Williams and NIGO's Japa Valley Tokyo establishes a temporary cultural district that blends art, hospitality, and retail.
