The new city of Riem forms part of Munich's strategy for growth, which is based on three concepts: urban, compact and green. It lies on the the land of the former airport and tries to achieve a liveable environment based on three basic ingredients: home of the Trade Fair and the whole range of associated offices, social housing and facilities for 16,000 inhabitants and a 200-hectare park.
In 1998 the trade fair installations were inaugurated and the first residents started to arrive. Ten years later, Riem is a bustling mixture of workers and residents, with a neighbourhood life revolving around the shopping centre, located in the pedestrian area, and the civic-educational-religious centre designed by Nagler.
The residential complex is composed of four buildings between Genterstrasse, Peter-Paul Althausstrasse and Osterwaldstrasse. Otto Steidle (1943-2004) finished the first of these, in Genterstrasse, in 1972, where his studio is located.

Courtillières is an example of a failure in modern urban planning. The neighbourhood, designed by Émile Aillaud towards the end of the 1950s, is currently undergoing different urban regeneration plans in order to slow down building deterioration and even more so, to improve the profound social unrest of the area.

Hybrids III supports the inclusion of housing in mixed developments, that guarantees continuous functional intensity and tends to be the driving force of financing civic buildings.

The de Young Museum was founded in 1895 and its headquarters in Central Park, San Francisco was kept open until 1989 when it was severely damaged by an earthquake. The new headquarters is a far more compact building than its predecessor: its footprint is 37% smaller, which has allowed part of the space occupied by the former building to be returned to the park.

The main pedestrianised street in Miami Beach awaits the arrival of this multi-purpose complex. Surrounded by the largest collection of Art Deco buildings in the world, a series of overlapping trays are connected by a circuit of ramps for cars. This car access will allow the building to be toured and to access homes and businesses that are in its path.

The programme of 100 social dwellings is housed in 3 separate buildings which are adapted to the difficulties of the site: views, planning restrictions, preservation of existing trees, etc. The dwellings are of different sizes and they each have a balcony protected with plastic curtains which allow them to be used as rooms in winter.
