One Century(Hangzhou Wangchao Center) is designed by SOM (US), which is widely recognized as a perfect blend of high-functional performance designs and engineering. Say Architects SAY was commissioned by Dadao Qiyun to design a sample office space on the 15th floor. SAY aims to integrate Eastern philosophical thinking into the high-rise concrete jungle, emphasizing the natural rhythm and flow of the space, and creating an office environment that prioritizes comfort and experience.Save this picture!Save this picture!Based on the research of various office areas from different enterprises, and starting from the patterns of work and human behavior within the space, the brief asks for two functional areas: the internal and external office zones. SAY separated the space into three main functional areas, with small and big demonstration offices on the sides, leaving a spacious central public area connecting the two office sections. The layout sets the foundation on a 300 x 300 grid, ensuring modularity and a sense of order within the space. The overall spatial layout uses a 1200mm or 1500mm wall panel, the traditional oriental culture accentuates the balance between the collective and the individual. By using modular components to build different functional rooms, the design creates a homogeneous yet fluid space that accommodates diverse activities and office environments.Save this picture!Save this picture!To eliminate the suffocating feeling created by traditional separators, the wall panels are constructed with transparent glass, expanding the visual fields, while opening and brightening the space. This selection enhanced the coherence and the flow of the space. The glass material allows light to travel through the space, maximizing natural light, ensuring a sense of transparency and comfort, and encouraging open communication and interaction. The rhythmic flow of light and shadow serves as a subtle yet abundant expression of Oriental aesthetics. Immersed in the environment, stillness contrasts with movement, and the relationship between people and the environment is harmoniously rendered. As light travels throughout the day, the atmosphere within the space continuously evolves, offering a dynamic and ever-changing aesthetic experience.Save this picture!Save this picture!As the first space upon entering, the public space has no traditional reception desk or formal greeting areas. The space is introduced by a circular sofa and a tea bar, simulating a relaxed living room. The Oriental approach to hospitality is inclusive and open, where guests are not seen as cold business contacts, but rather as friends being warmly received. The public area is impregnated with meaning beyond functionality; it represents the beginning of an emotional connection.Save this picture!Entering the office areas, the vibrant working desks and natural wood accents soften the working space. To adapt to daily needs, the back of the workstation is adjacent to a movable water bar. Colorful soft furnishings brighten the surroundings, breaking away from the monotony of the office area, and adding richness and fun to the space. This design ensures those long-hour workers no longer feel restricted by the isolated environment. In the normal configuration, the wall panels are defined with partitions of various sizes including traditional office areas, flexible office areas, collaborative areas, meeting rooms and a tea room, all providing a secure and comfortable working environment. In the open configuration, the wall panels allow deconstruction and reassembly according to needs, creating a wider and more comfortable shared space.Save this picture!The removable panels provide a diverse layout and configurations. The interconnected volumes not only provide visual expansion but also infuse the space with a sense of movement. While the static panels maintain a sense of order, which the dynamic transition is a rare feature in traditional office space. With the flexible layouts, the space becomes a volume for functions and an expression. The shift from static to dynamic turns the office from a stale process into an innovative and vital experience. Its special flexible layout feature, serves as the foundation of this sample office, while the intelligent design enhances the user experience by offering greater efficiency and convenience. Features such as meeting room booking, environmental monitoring, and smart controls seamlessly integrate with the distinct characteristics of each area, achieving a harmonious balance between technological intelligence and spatial design.Save this picture!Save this picture!The digitalized control system reduces the reliance on traditional panels, allowing users to effortlessly switch between different scenarios with one single click, transitioning between creation, collaboration, and relaxation. This enhances the overall experience. To maintain a clean environment, the design embedded fixtures as much as possible, minimizing the visibility of exposed components. Refining the structural joints and metal frames to achieve a balance between aesthetics and functionality. With an open and vital space, bringing a breathable office environment. The influx of natural light and open vistas brightens the areas, with the interplay of light and shadow, evoking the subtle flow of oriental heritage. Based on the concept of de-office-ification, SAY integrates an easy assembly model with color aesthetics, offering a deep exploration of flexible collaboration and high-level intelligence, answering to the emerging trends in future office design.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Hang Zhou Shi, ChinaLocation to be used only as a reference.

    A Year on Planet Earth Part 3
    The eye of Hurricane Beryl is seen in this image acquired by a Sentinel 2 satellite on July 1, 2024. The image is about 40 miles wide. (Credit: Modified Copernicus Sentinel data processed by Pierre Markuse.)NewsletterSign up for our email newsletter for the latest science newsIn this final installment of a three-part series recapping some of the most dramatic and significant events of 2024, I'll start with a look at the record-setting hurricane season that recently ended. And then, to balance things out, I'll finish with some dazzling events that brought us great beauty during the year.But first, for Part 1 of the series, go here. And for Part 2, here. And now, let's get to it Part 3 of "A Year on Planet Earth":Above Average Atlantic Hurricane SeasonThe Atlantic Hurricane season didnt quite live up to some forecasts of hyper-activity with as many as two dozen named storms. But it still set notable records and some storms caused devastating damage. During the official season, from June 1 to Nov. 30, 18 named storms swirled in the Atlantic basin. (Named storms have winds of 39 mph or greater.) Eleven of these had winds of 74 mph or greater, qualifying them as hurricanes. Of these, five intensified to major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or more. All told, five hurricanes swept onto land in the continental United States, with two of them making landfall as major hurricanes. In Part 1 of this series, I featured an image of Hurricane Beryl taken from the International Space Station on July 1. It shows the sprawling storm from a dramatic oblique angle. At the time, the cyclone's winds were howling at 150 miles per hour. Above, I've included a dramatic close-up satellite image of Beryl's eye, also acquired on July 1. Beryl was notable because it was the earliest Atlantic basin Category-5 hurricane on record, and the strongest June and July hurricane ever recorded in the basin. She roared across parts of the Caribbean and the Yucatn Peninsula, making landfall in the United States along the Gulf Coast as a Category-1 storm.Sunlight falls on Hurricane Helene on Sept. 26, 2024, as seen in this image acquired by the GOES-16 satellite. (Credit: (CSU/CIRA & NOAA)The usual peak of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season saw a bit of a lull, but then activity came roaring back with record-breaking storms. Hurricane Helene was one of them. Seen in the GOES-16 satellite image above, it stretches across a vast swath of the eastern seaboard of the United States. Helene truly was huge. At its biggest extent, it was 420 miles wide. That made her larger than all but two Gulf of Mexico storms since 1988, according to an analysis by Colorado State University hurricane scientist Phil Klotzbach.Helene made landfall on the Florida Gulf Coast as a Category 4 storm on Sept. 26. After tearing things apart and pushing up inundating storm surges along the coast, Helene swept north, causing catastrophic flooding across the southern Appalachians, as well as widespread wind damage all the way to the North Carolina mountains. The storm ultimately killed more than 200 people.Hurricane Milton also was a notable storm of 2024. It made landfall as a Category-3 near Siesta Key, Florida, on October 9, triggering an outbreak of 46 tornadoes, causing rainfall amounts of 10-15 inches (and higher) that led to flooding. Milton also pushed up a destructive storm surge between Siesta Key, Florida, and Ft. Myers Beach, Florida. But arguably Milton's biggest claim to fame was how quickly it intensified. Its 90-mile-per-hour increase in wind speed over 24 hours was among the most rapid intensifications ever observed in the Atlantic Basin. On the flip side of this story is what happened in the Pacific. Hurricane season activity was below-normal for both the eastern Pacific basin and central Pacific basin and fell within predicted ranges, according to NOAA.In Happier News, 2024 Brought us Much Beauty TooAn astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured this extraordinary view of the aurora borealis, or northern lights, on Oct. 11, 2024. (Credit: Don Pettit/NASA via X)When I first saw the image above, it stopped me dead in my tracks. I've seen the aurora borealis many times from the ground in Northern Norway, and I've always been awe-struck. But this image, looking down from the International Space Station on the Northern Lights shimmering above the surface of the Earth was unlike anything I had seen before. Here's another view: Astronaut Matthew Dominick took this photo of the aurora borealis on Oct. 7, 2024 from the Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft docked to the International Space Station. (Credit: Matthew Dominick/NASA via X)I could imagine myself on the station (and, in fact, even had a dream about it), my face plastered to the oval window looking spellbound at what I might be tempted to call an "otherworldy" scene passing below except for it being very much of our world. As I wrote in a story about this on Oct. 22, the beautiful display was caused by a massive X-class solar flare, the largest kind, and an accompanying outburst of solar plasma and magnetic field called a coronal mass ejection, or CME, that raced toward Earth. (For an image of a large X-flare exploding from the Sun, see Part 1 of the series.) The result was that millions more people than usual were treated to displays of the red, green and pink auroral lights in the sky. You usually must travel to far northern areas (or far southern ones in the Southern Hemisphere) to see dramatic displays like this. But overnight on Oct. 10 and 11, they lit up the skies as far south as Texas!As I'm writing this on New Years Eve, the sun has once again launched a series of CMEs at Earth, and these are already causing the skies to light up above Finland as this screenshot of a live webcam view shows: Screenshot of a live webcam showing the Northern Lights glimmering above Lapland in Finland at about 2 a.m. local time on Jan. 1, 2025. (Credit: Northern Light Live, Levi, Finland, North view, via Youtube.)To check out the live webcam on Youtube for yourself, go here.Iceland Volcanic Eruption ReduxThe first image I shared in Part 1 of the series was a view from space of a volcanic eruption last winter in Iceland that sent brilliant, burning orange lava coursing over white snow. In remote sensing images like that, the contrast between the fire and ice was quite stunning. So here's another view of the scene acquired by a different satellite:Landat 9 image acquired on Feb. 10, 2024. (Credit: NASA Earth Observatory)That eruption was part of a series that began in December of 2023 and continued into early 2024. As predicted, it did not fade. And in November, satellites once again captured beautiful images of a new eruption like this one: The eruption of lava near Iceland's world famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is seen here in an image acquired by the Landsat 9 satellite on Nov. 24, 2024. Infrared data collected by the satellite reveals the glow from the flowing lava on the Reykjanes Peninsula. (Credit: Landsat 9 data courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey, processed by Pierre Markuse)In late November, lava crept into the outskirts of the world famous Blue Lagoon hot springs resort. The Landsat view above truly does make it seem like Earth's crust has cracked open, allowing us to peer into the burning bowels of the Earth. And in a sense, that's right. Iceland lies along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North America and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart. On Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, this is causing fissures to open in the curst, allowing lava to well up from a heat source deep in Earth's mantle. Last But Very Much Not Least, Hawaii!On Dec. 24, 2024 the Landsat 8 satellite captured this image of lava filling the caldera of Hawaii's Klauea volcano. The false-color image was created using several wavelengths of light captured by the satellite sensor, including infrared, which reveals the heat signature of the new lava in red and yellow colors. (Credit: NASA Earth Observatory)You may well have heard of the spectacular pre-Christmas eruption of the Klauea volcano on Hawaii. (My colleague here at Discover Erik Klemetti wrote it about here.) It was heralded by a swarm of earthquakes, and then the opening of fissures in the floor of the Halema'uma'u caldera. Fountains of lava soon began spewing skyward, and the molten rock spread out quickly along the bottom of the caldera. It somehow seems appropriate and uplifting to finish this series with images of these volcanic events, which are helping to renew the surface of our ancient planet. They're also providing spurts (literally and figuratively) of creative energy that reminds us just how dynamic, resilient and utterly awesome our home truly is. Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2025 brings you happiness and many wondrous experiences of nature.

    A Year on Planet Earth Part 2
    A fire cloud erupts above Oregon's Falls Fire on July 15, 2024. The Western United States and Canada were plagued by intense, fast-spreading wildfires during 2024 part of a long-term trend linked to climate change. (Credit: InciWeb)NewsletterSign up for our email newsletter for the latest science newsIt really has been a drama-filled year for our home planet. With relentless, record-setting global heating, rampaging wildfires, and extreme storms, we've had ample reason to be seriously concerned about the future. But other events, have amazed us with great beauty and displays of creative energy. Among them were awesome volcanic eruptions of lava in Iceland and Hawaii, as well as mind-boggling eruptions of plasma from the Sun that caused dazzling displays of the Northern Lights. During 2024, I've tried to keep pace with these events by using compelling imagery to tell their stories. Now, at year's end, I thought it would be revealing to do a recap featuring some of that imagery in a three-part series. Please check out the first part here. In Part 1, I document events from early in the year through the spring. Here, I take things through the fall. And you can find the third part here.So, without further ado, on to Part 2:The Heat Goes On. And On. And...Here's how daily global surface temperatures have changed since the 1940s. The months of June through September show up warmer than others because this is the warm season in the Northern Hemisphere, which has a higher proportion land than the Southern Hemisphere. Also note that in addition to the obvious overall heating, the warm season has expanded. (Credit: Zeke Hausfather via Bluesky Social)Just yesterday (I'm writing this on New Year's Eve), the World Meteorological Organization confirmed that 2024 is set to be the warmest year in records dating back to the 1800s. This means a heat-streak of record-setting years has gone on for a decade. "The top ten hottest years on record have happened in the last ten years, including 2024, UN Secretary-General Antnio Guterres said in a New Year message.A landscape desiccated by heat and lack of water. (Credit: World Meteorological Organization.)The heating of Earth's climatic life-support system has been caused by our emissions of heat-trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which reached a record high in 2024. The continued increase in emissions from our industries, motor vehicles, worsening wildfires, and other sources, has caused carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere not only to continue rising, but to do so at an increasing rate as this graph demonstrates: The annual mean growth rates for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii is shown here. (Blue bars.) In the graph, decadal averages of the growth rate are also plotted, as horizontal lines for 1960 through 1969, 1970 through 1979, and so on. (Credit: NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory)The global heating cause by the greenhouse gases we continue to pump into the atmosphere is having multiple, intensifying climate impacts. According to a new report from World Weather Attribution, issued in collaboration with Climate Central, in 2024 climate change intensified 26 of 29 weather events examined by the researchers. "Its likely the total number of people killed in extreme weather events intensified by climate change this year is in the tens, or hundreds of thousands," the report concluded. Globally, climate change added on average 41 additional days of dangerous heat in 2024 heat severe enough that it threatened peoples health.The record-breaking heat of 2024 helped generate record-breaking downpours. "From Kathmandu, to Dubai, to Rio Grande do Sul, to the Southern Appalachians, the last 12 months have been marked by a large number of devastating floods," the World Weather Attribution report found. "Of the 16 floods we studied, 15 were driven by climate change-amplified rainfall." The researchers also found that hot seas and warmer air helped provide the fuel for more destructive storms among them, Hurricane Helene, which I'll feature in Part 3 of this series.And there were also devastating, fast-moving wildfires.An "Exceptional Year" of Wildfire Activity in the AmericasSmoke from wildfires in Canada as well as the United States blankets about 1.5 million square miles, as seen in this image acquired by the GOES-18 satellite on July 19, 2024.Hot and dry conditions primed the Americas this past year for what the European Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service described in a recent report as "exceptional" wildfire activity. "The scale of some of the fires were at historical levels, especially in Bolivia, the Pantanal and parts of the Amazon, and Canadian wildfires were again extreme, although not at the scale of 2023," said Mark Parrington, Senior Scientist at the monitoring service. The fires had "continental-scale impacts on air quality with high surface concentrations of particulate matter and other pollutants which persisted for several weeks."You can see an example of such "continental-scale impacts" in the satellite image above, showing wildfire smoke from Canadian blazes spreading across thousands of miles of North America. Overall, increasing heat, extended droughts, and a thirstier atmosphere are intensifying and lengthening fire seasons in some regions of the world. This has been especially true of the Western United States, which has been seeing significantly increasing wildfire risk and extent during the last two decades. "Some of the most deadly and destructive wildfires in U.S. history have occurred in recent years, with most having the common characteristic of extremely rapid growth," write the authors of a recent study on fast-growing wildfires led by University of Colorado scientist Jennifer Balch. (Note: Balch is a colleague of mine at the University of Colorado, where I direct the Center for Environmental Journalism.)The sprawling, angry scar from California's Park Fire is seen in this Landsat satellite image acquired on Aug. 4, 2024. Note the Northern California City of Chico, population 101,301, in the lower part of the 40-mile-wide image. (Credit: Landsat data courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey, processed by Pierre Markuse.)We saw that play this past year with a number of vicious wildfires. "For example, in July, the Park wildfire in northern California spread to more than 50,000 hectares in its first 24 hours the equivalent of around one football field per second," Balch and her colleagues write.The area burned by wildfires in the West each year is now ten times greater than four decades ago, thanks in part to faster spreading flames, their study shows. The year 2020 saw the most area burned so far 3.3 million hectares, which is larger than Belgium. If the region continues getting warmer and drier still, as is expected, its likely that this record will be surpassed in just 5 to 10 years, Balch and a colleague, A. Park Williams, write in a commentary accompanying their research paper. There are many ways for us to be more resilient in the face of wildfire risks, they say. Some examples: careful application of prescribed burning to thin out fuels; managing ecosystems more wisely to prepare for future ecological changes; more robust collection of data on wildfires along with better modeling to help us prepare for and manage blazes that are going to continue coming; and being wiser about where we build and how we build. "Individual disasters attract attention, and rightly so, but the focus should be on how to coexist with fire not simply how best to battle it," Balch and Williams conclude.Please check out the third installment of this series here.
