Top 10 Best Designs in 2000 (1)

At the beginning of the new century, people are always accustomed to reviewing and summing up what happened in the old century.
Recently, the United States "Time" magazine named the "Ten Best Designs" in 2000. These exquisite works have enhanced us with endless thoughts and motivations. Let us revive them together.

Rose Earth Space Center

A special place in the newly renovated Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City is that the kind of 21st century architectural ideas embodied in the pavilion fulfilled the dream that humans once had in the 18th century.
The design of the architect James Stuart Poulscher of the pavilion was actually very simple: he placed a metal ball in a cubic building that was mainly made of glass, and this design style referred to famous architects of the 18th century. Etienne Louis Bray proposes a spherical architecture idea for the monument designed by Isaac Newton in 1784. At that time, this wonderful concept of simplification could not be put into practice for various reasons. Nowadays, this planetarium that welcomes the new century tells people the splendour of the universe with a combination of classical modernism and high-tech futurism.

Heidelberger Ostens Exhibition Hall
When a cloud of clouds swept over Amsterdam, various colors immediately shone on the cubic building designed by architect Steven Hall, accompanied by some unnoticeable changes. This is a gorgeous and playful building on the river. It is said that Hall was specially designed for a Dutch company. It is not so much the glass and perforated glass panels that are made of light and water that are surrounded by nature around buildings.

Lifestyle design master Brace Mao once said sensibly that the form cannot be separated from the content. Indeed, nowhere can I find any more than this his 624-page monograph can demonstrate this. The book is not only an anthology of Mao's works, but also a declaration he made to the world. This book only wants to urge readers to pay attention to what the "global image economy" is conveying.

Tate Modern Art Museum
You can't fail to say that the designer used an old London power station as the singular singularity of the design starting point. It was precisely this unique design that enhanced the potential value of the power station. The design team led by Jacques Ezoge and Pierre de Meuron not only promoted "natural lighting" for the classic works of the 20th century, but also provided a space for exhibition space for contemporary artists' works.

The first summer temporary outdoor awning The temporary “urban beach” designed and built by ShoP Company became an exciting summer resort in Queens, New York.
This awning is made up of more than 6,000 wooden planks that can be swayed, rotated and glided. This design allows visitors who come for sunbathing, water fights, and cooling off to get it all. This is an architectural sketch that has already become a reality.
