### Project Overview

Situated in Bangkok, Thailand, the Fashion Hub serves as a modern marketplace and community space designed for emerging fashion designers. The project aims to cultivate creativity and collaboration within the fashion industry, featuring a distinctive architectural form that responds to the vibrant urban environment. Utilizing the Voronoi pattern, the design incorporates a facade with a daily changing color scheme, which enhances visual interest and reflects the dynamic essence of contemporary urban life.

### Spatial Organization

The hub is organized across six floors, each designated for specific functions that support a multifunctional environment:

1. **Ground Floor:** Features a boutique marketplace with retail spaces alongside essential amenities such as restrooms and elevators.
2. **First Floor:** Houses cafes and management offices, fostering a social atmosphere for professionals in the fashion sector.
3. **Second Floor:** Includes a bar and a forum for events, facilitating networking and knowledge sharing among users.
4. **Third Floor:** Contains a library that offers resources ranging from fashion trends to technical knowledge for designers.
5. **Fourth Floor:** Designed as an exhibition hall, this space showcases emerging talent and hosts fashion-related events.
6. **Fifth Floor:** Comprises an open design studio and classroom, providing a workshop environment for novice designers.
7. **Sixth Floor:** Features restaurant facilities, enhancing the overall community experience within the hub.

Each level prioritizes accessibility and engagement, ensuring inclusivity for a broad user demographic.

### Materiality and Sustainability

The material palette of the Fashion Hub emphasizes aesthetic appeal while adhering to functional and sustainable principles:

- **Glass:** Maximizes natural light, creating an open and inviting atmosphere throughout the space.
- **Concrete:** Provides structural stability, supporting the fluid architectural expressions of the facade.
- **Metal (Aluminum or Steel):** Utilized in the facade detailing, contributing to the hub's modern aesthetic and ensuring long-term durability.
- **Vegetation (Living Walls):** The integration of greenery enhances the structural beauty and significantly improves air quality, aligning with eco-friendly design practices.

The use of living walls juxtaposed with the rigidity of concrete and metal symbolizes a balance between urban development and natural elements, highlighting a contemporary approach to sustainable design.

The Next House: USA — A Global Call to Reimagine the American Suburb

`
Competition organisers

Buildner is launching The Next House: USA, a global architecture competition that challenges architects, designers, and thinkers to reimagine the American suburban home for the 21st century. For decades, the suburban house has symbolized comfort and stability, but today it often reflects excess, isolation, and environmental strain. This competition asks: how can the American home evolve to address climate urgency, economic pressures, and shifting social values?

Participants are tasked with designing a prototype home of no more than 1,500 sq ft (≈140 m²) for a household of two adults and one child. The design should be compact yet generous, adaptable, sustainable, affordable, and replicable across diverse U.S. contexts. More than a design exercise, the competition aims to spark a conversation about how homes can support healthier, smarter, and more connected communities.

The total prize fund is $20,000 USD. The final registration deadline is May 20, 2026, and winners will be announced on September 22, 2026. The Next House: USA invites architects, students, and visionaries worldwide to redefine what the American home means today—and what it should mean tomorrow.
