The Austrian Pavilion in Milan unites architecture and the environment to create an integral contribution. This effect is technically supported in the pavilion by evaporative cooling, but without air treatment systems.

To underscore this basic idea, the square is laid out as a flat plane which has then been tilted 3 % towards the view.
In Mantes-la-Jolie (France), the area for construction is located near the main neighborhood shops (supermarket, fast food and cinema). Another recent project has changed the appearance of this place. This has enlarged the perspective of the square Henri Dunant. Now, it highlights la maison du sous-préfet.
