Future projects

A snapshot of upcoming and underconstruction works by Australian architects, from a panda trail in China to a science island in Lithuania.

BLO’s design for the new Lorenteggio Library emerged from the dimensions of the city’s public housing blocks. Turning ninety degrees from the original grid, the building continues the modern project that gave life to this urban development in the 1930s.

The library acts as a bridge, completing the sequence of civic structures on the neighbourhood park. It gives Lorenteggio a new icon that reinvigorates the tradition of modernity in the district, appropriating and actualizing the memory of its local factories.
