Designed years ago, the structures are consistent with the generous and enduring civic spirit of the best contemporary architecture in the world.

From museums to venues for shows, here are the most anticipated buildings that will open or complete in 2021:

Far Rockaway Library, New York

This public library in the Far Rockaway neighborhood of Queens, New York, will replace a small but popular library. With an area of 20,000 square meters, the new facility doubles the size of the space offered to the community. At the entrance, the light will pour through a glass triangle. According to architects at the Norwegian company Snøhetta, the golden hue of the building reflects the color of the sky on Long Island.

Taipei Performing Arts Center, Taipei

Eight years after construction began, the unmistakable Taipei Performing Arts Center will be completed in the middle of this year. With an estimated cost of $ 192 million, the building will undoubtedly be a contemporary landmark for the Taiwanese capital. According to the architects of the OMA, the building has three theatres that will operate independently.

Aquarela, Quito

More than 10 years after winning the Pritzker Prize, the so-called Nobel In Architecture, French architect Jean Nouvel continues to amaze.

His latest projects include Aquarela, a 650-unit residential complex in the Cumbaya district of Ecuador’s capital, Quito.

Although composed of several separate nine-storey structures, a series of long balconies wrap around and between them to give the project a monolithic quality.

Stone cladding, wooden shutters and exterior greenery are intended to help the building reflect and assimilate with the green and mountainous topography of the region, while providing residents with a tangible connection to nature.

Phase 1 of the project is expected to be completed earlier this year, and phase two could be ready in 2022, according to Nouvel.

Hotel Green Solution House (GSH), Rønne

Denmark will soon have its first climate-positive hotel. Specifically, the building is designed to save more carbon than it emits.

The structure is made almost entirely of wood, much of which is recycled using cutouts from the construction and furniture manufacturing industries.

House of Hungarian Music, Budapest

The work of the famous Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, is one of the outstanding projects of the Liget Budapest Project, a radical repair of the largest public park in the Hungarian capital.

The building is intended to celebrate the rich musical traditions of the country. It attracts visitors with public facilities at ground level, where a largely translucent design helps to erode the distinction between interior and exterior.

This is where the Ethnography Museum and the new National Gallery will operate.

OurDomain Student Housing, Amsterdam

This new residential campus in the Netherlands, which contains about 1,500 apartments, offers students in Amsterdam a range of facilities that their parents’ generation could only dream of.

The huge residential complex is divided into three aesthetically distinct buildings, the most striking of which turns into a pixelated explosion of color.

OZ Architect, the design company behind the project, hopes that this student campus will enliven a shopping area that has until now been dominated by office buildings.

Floating Music Hub, São Vincente

Over the past decade, the architecture and urbanism group NLÉ has experienced innovative ways to build quickly and cheaply on water.

The company’s Makoko floating system – which allows local builders to assemble prefabricated wooden modules in floating A frames – has already been used to build schools in Nigeria and Belgium.

Set in the Atlantic Ocean, three lightweight structures will house a live performance hall, recording studio and bar, demonstrating that easy-to-assemble floating architecture can provide an affordable alternative to traditional cultural venues.

Sunac Guangzhou Grand Theatre, Guangzhou

Designed by Steven Chilton Architects of London, this 2,000-seat theatre in Guangzhou, southern China, was inspired by the flowing texture of embroidered silk.

Also, the drawings of the artist Zhang Hongfei, whose golden illustrations adorn the bold red shell, indicate the history of the city as a veritable shopping center.

Inside, a circular hall has been set up to host captivating “360-degree” shows when the building will be openthis year.
