The Conservation Center for Wildlife Care, which will have multiple buildings once complete, is operated by the Peninsula Humane Society and the Society for the Prevention and Cruelty of Animals (SPCA). Located on a 170-acre site just outside of San Jose, CA, the Conservation Center, which is funded by Oracle founder and tech billionaire Larry Ellison, will be a place where “nature’s humbler creatures, including bugs, snakes and salamanders” can have their broken wings mended and hides healed. About 8,500 animals are expected to receive medical care at the center each year and MillerClapperton will fabricate 4,900 square feet of Metal Composite Material for the project.

Quay Quarter Tower (QTT) was declared the World Building of the Year 2022 at the annual World Architecture Festival, which was held in Lisbon this year. The 3XN designed project stands 206 meter tall and is located near Sydney’s famed Opera House. The office building is arranged as a vertical village of “five stacked shifting volumes” with a sustainability strategy that involved upcycling the existing tower. You’ll find all of the winning projects below including World Interior of the Year and Future Project of the year.

Dezeen kicked off their review of 2022 with a round up of the 10 “most eye-catching architectural reuse projects of the year, from an art museum in Tehran to a Marcel Breuer-designed hotel.” As concerns over climate and the impact of construction continue to dominate conversations around design, there is a growing interest in architecture projects that “seek to work with existing structures.” Click below to see their list of “ambitious conversions, careful renovations and delicate restorations” that stood out this year.
