MVRDV was officially named the winner of the Urban Ecological Masterplan due to an imposing project which will be developed in Tirana, Albania. The amazing shapes of the structure (resembling collapsing domino pieces) will be the basis for plenty of original and creative apartment design, commercial centers and office buildings. The new neighborhood will be called “Tirana Rocks”- a very suggestive name, if you think about it.- via

Designed by MVRDV and developed by Provast, this new public market place was recently announced by the mayor of Rotterdam as an upcoming project of the city. The construction already started and this colossal building will soon be one of the main attractions in Rotterdam. The hall of the market will feature giant LCD screens playing fruit and vegetable images. Another striking detail is its arch, composed of ten floors with no less than 228 apartments, half for purchasing, half for rentals. Restaurants and shopping stores will be found on the first two levels and a giant supermarket will be accessible underground, as well as plenty of parking lots (1200 parking spaces). We our looking forward to visiting this majestic upcoming construction.-via
