This school for girls in Jaisalmer, a city in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan\u2014a region where female infanticide and child marriage are shockingly common\u2014makes a strong statement merely by its existence. Yet the building, developed by the American nonprofit organization Citta (Sanskrit for consciousness) and designed by Diana Kellogg Architects<\/a>, transcends its function. Made almost entirely of hand-carved sandstone blocks, it supports local craftsmen\u2014including some of the girls\u2019 fathers\u2014and proves that heritage architecture can take an elegant modern form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn’t love ’70s vibes and bite-size burgers?

At Tangshan Mountain, once a misty paradise of vegetation and wildlife close to the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, near Shanghai, mining for ores deep into the hillside destroyed the local ecology and resulted in a man-made chasm devoid of life. Abandoned for a century, the quarry has recently been revitalized in an unexpected way: through the creation of the Banyan Tree Nanjing Garden Expo, a luxury hotel with interiors by Cheng Chung Design<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the reboot of LinkedIn’s Omaha office, Gensler employed a design with the future in mind. \u201cOmaha actually means to go against the current, according to local indigenous tribes,\u201d says Gensler<\/a> principal Janice Cavaliere, who took charge of graphics and branding while Gensler design director and principal Kelly Dubisar led the project\u2019s interiors. It\u2019s this pioneering spirit that informed the firm\u2019s strategy across the new LinkedIn Omaha workplace, a pair of adjacent LEED Gold\u2013certified buildings that are five stories each and total 200,000 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tippy-top of Midtown\u2019s buzziest new skyscraper, Summit One Vanderbilt, is a 65,000-square-foot playground that immerses visitors in views extending 80 miles. Adding to the appeal is the three-level atrium\u2019s experiential installation by Kenzo Digital<\/a>, which utilizes 30,375 square feet of mirrors to create the effect of infinite space\u2014an illusion amplified by floating reflective orbs, an animated cumulus-scape, and Clouds, a floor piece by Yayoi Kusama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in a 300-acre forest near the Swedish border sits furniture manufacturer Vestre’s 75,000-square-foot factory and visitor center designed by BIG<\/a> and constructed of recycled steel, low-carbon concrete, and charred larch cladding. The distinctive building demonstrates what environmentally friendly fabrication looks like. Built to Passivhaus Institute standards, the Plus generates 50 percent less greenhouse gases than a conventional factory. \u201cThe project proves that production can be sustainable and profitable,\u201d partner-in-charge Bjarke Ingels says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look inside Dior\u2019s 50,000-square-foot, three-level Paris boutique\u2014which includes haute couture salons, two eateries, three gardens, and a bookable private apartment\u2014by Interior Design<\/em> Hall of Fame member Peter Marino<\/a>. The renovated locale offers visitors what Marino describes as a journey through the \u201cinner essence\u201d of the brand. \u201cIt\u2019s not one idea through\u00adout but, rather, walk-through spaces that tell a story, that keep the customer engaged and emotionally connected with Dior from start to finish,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock climb in this 87,000-square-foot building, renovated by MN Design Professional Corporation, in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Home to Crye\u2019s headquarters, executive director Gregg Thompson invited Wes Rozen, who first designed the brand’s office in the locale in the early aughts, back to design the workplace\u2019s amenity spaces, including a fitness center. \u201cWes knew the building better than anyone,\u201d Thompson says. And Rozen certainly understood the difficulty of installing a gym there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazilian architect and Interior Design<\/em> Hall of Fame member Arthur Casas<\/a> transforms a small plot of land in S\u00e3o Paulo into an airy indoor-outdoor oasis.

Casas and his team gave them everything they asked for, and more, in a modernist 7,000-square-foot house tucked into lush greenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
