Compromising of Technology & Science parks along with a massive industrial down amidts a well landscaped masterplanned 10, 000 acres zone. The development includes Financial District, a supertall tower similar in look to the Sky City One Changsha J220 and another tower which seems to be a replica of the Shanghai finance center. There's also a full size Formula 1 Grandprix race track and water sports area with plenty of  berths for yachts.

Broad has partnered with United Benefial Group (UBG) of Shanghai for some projects

So far, Broad has built 16 structures in China, plus another in Cancun. They are fabricated in sections at two factories in Hunan, roughly an hour’s drive from Broad Town. From there the modules—complete with preinstalled ducts and plumbing for electricity, water, and other infrastructure—are shipped to the site and assembled like Legos. The company is in the process of franchising this technology to partners in India, Brazil, and Russia. What it’s selling is the world’s first standardized skyscraper, and with it, Zhang aims to turn Broad into the McDonald’s of the sustainable building industry.

“Traditional construction is chaotic,” he says. “We took construction and moved it into the factory.” According to Zhang, his buildings will help solve the many problems of the construction industry. They will be safer, quicker, and cheaper to build. And they will have low energy consumption and CO₂emissions. When I ask Zhang why he decided to start a construction company, he corrects me. “It’s not a construction company,” he says. “It’s a structural revolution.”

Tamina Thermal Baths by Smolenicky & Partner Architecture

The architects at the Zurich based Smolenicky & Partners, designed the Tamina Thermal Baths for the Grand Resort in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland.

from Joseph Smolenicky:
COMPETITION
The project for the Tamina thermal baths is the result of a two-stage competition from 2003. The aim of the first phase of the process was to coordinate the large pending architectural interventions in terms of town planning. Where should the new five-star hotel be located, where should the extension of the medical centre be set, and how should the new public thermal baths be accessed from the site? The plan was to invest and coordinate a total of SFr. 160 million in new constructions and structural alterations.

The second part of the competition involved designing the project’s two major new constructions – the hotel and the thermal baths. The architectural office Smolenicky & Partner won the project for the Tamina thermal baths, Hilmer & Sattler and Albrecht Architects the project for the new hotel.

LANDSCAPE SITUATION
The town-planning character of the resort is dominated by large representative buildings set in an expansive park landscape. To this extent the resort clearly distinguishes itself from the identity of the village of Bad Ragaz. During the belle époque this principle of building monumental hotels in close vicinity to a village was successfully applied to a number of locations in the Swiss Alps. The most important examples are Interlaken, St. Moritz and Gstaad. In Bad Ragaz two cul-de-sacs fork off from the main road that runs through the golf course connecting Bad Ragaz and Maienfeld. In the new project the thermal baths were deliberately located on the cul-de-sac accessing the resort’s public facilities, such as the new conference centre in the renovated spa spring hall, the casino and the golf club house. The second cul-de-sac running along the park has been kept free to provide access to the three grand hotels, and emits a more private and calmer atmosphere.

FORM AND EXTERIOR SPACE
Instead of being freestanding, the form of the building volume emerges from the enclosing of exterior spaces. In the area of the open-air baths, for instance, the volume of the building is stepped back and opens out the sunbathing lawn to the wooded slopes of the mountain ridge. The view extends past the existing buildings, screened by newly planted groups of trees. The guests experience a park landscape that melts into woods and mountain slopes.

The predominant landscaped, park-like atmosphere remains intact despite the compact manner of building. Thus the resort remains characterized by its park. The main entrance to the thermal baths, the spa spring hall, is set on the visual axis of the cul-de-sac in order, from the main road, to mark its presence in the depth of the site as a public facility.

CRITERIA OF THE BUILDING
The Tamina thermal baths is explicitly conceived as a part of the grand-hotel culture. The cultural and aesthetic identity of the project seeks an affinity to both Swiss tradition and the grand hotels of the Baltic coast, such as Heiligendamm.

For this reason the building volume has a monumental character, in order to stand out as an institution equal to the other buildings in the resort. Simultaneously the thermal baths are intended to relativize the almost “urban” stonework character of the spa spring hall. This explains the snow-white woodwork of the thermal baths, lending it the pavilion-like character of the architecture of a historical holiday resort.

This strategy of using an explicit resort architecture is underscored in the building’s formally fanciful oval windows. Seen from the inside, the windows have the effect of over-dimensional picture frames. Oval picture frames were widespread in the Victorian era for landscape scenes, whereby the intention in the current project is to give specific expression to the view over the relatively neutral landscape by means of the gesture of the frame.

INTERIOR SPACE AS A “FOREST”
Metaphorically the creation of the interior spaces of the project has an analogy in cutting clearings in the pattern of a forest by felling individual trees. This is the reverse of the common design process. The exterior spaces are similarly created by “felling” supports on the periphery of the building volume. Structurally the building can be more or less seen as a forest, created out of columns instead of trees – a total of 115 supports using the timber of 2,200 fir-trees (this amount of wood is regenerated in Switzerland in two-and-a-half hours).

EXPRESSION AND MATERIAL
Materially the project possesses the same appearance internally and externally. The snow-white timber battens are carried over internally as wall surfacing. In this sense there is no actual interior architecture to the building, but instead only a whole architecture of the building.

The timber structure of the building is not merely determined by the criteria of the span of the supports. Instead of a focus on the engineering of the function of the supports and the reinforcement of a construction, the structure concentrates far more on spatial phenomena, creating a beauty and a ceremonial atmosphere. Bathing is celebrated as a cultivated activity.

One God.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim.
Assalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

So brothers and sisters today I would like to speak about the thing that God is one, without partners or helpers. So God is only one and we, as muslims believe that God is one, He sent messengers to ppl in different times to different ppl. And all these prophets may God's peace be upon of them all. All of them spread message about one God, Who has prepared unlimited reward after death for those who believe in Him, and follow His rules and the rules of His prophets who brought the commandments of God, to humanity. And for those who do not believe in Him or choose not to follow His commandments, for those He has prepared a punishment and great torment. But this is applying only to those who have heard about the message and chosen not to follow it, so those who deny after hearing from it have the choise to follow or choose, not to follow. And those who have not heard or known about it, those God will judge differently and He knows best. And even if you are a muslim, it doesn't guarantee that you would be in paradise it is quite the opposite. Because when you know about the message, you have to work accordingly to it and if you choose not to follow it, i.e. you choose to deny the rules and limits that God has set before us. And so you are making the decision not to follow, and then you are doing prohibited things knowingly.

So there are things that God has prohibited from us, and things that are allowed to us. To put it bluntly we could say that, the things that are prohibited are things of no good. They cause hardship, sickness, evil doing, hurting someone's fellings or something that could be considered as evil or negative. And the things that are allowed are the opposite, so they are of good to us, they may heal us, they help us deal with others justly and most importantly they help us. As when we do prohibited things we cause bad to happen to us, in this life like in the next life. And the things that God has prohibited are because of something, so they are of no good to us. For an example, we as muslims are prohibited from drinking alcohol. And if we look at the modern day things we can quite well see that why it is prohibited, some ppl get quite aggressive, they cause sometimes vandalism, crime and all these things which are of no good to us, nor to those who are found as victims to it. So it is better and God even rewards us for not doing things that are prohibited, and He makes our daily lives much easier in this world too, because then we are not doing things which consume time from us. Because time is one of those things that cannot be wasted for nothing, as we all know every second is unique, we cannot take it back nor live it again. And every heartbeat is ''unhealthy'' or away from us, as that is one less heartbeat for the heart to beat. :) So we should be occupied in doing good, and forbidding and trying to prevent evil/ bad things from happening, i.e. using every second for something that is useful, which is benefitting for us and to those that we are trying to help.

So what we really should do is, to make every day worth living for. Trying to strive for the pleasure of God, so that we would be able to have our resting place in Jannah (Paradise). And that we maybe would be protected from the Hellfire, from it's torment and punishment as it is something so bad that no one would, wish it on anyone. But it is God who decides, He is going to judge us without wronging any soul as He says in the Holy Quran:

4:40 Verily, God does not wrong [anyone] by as much as an atom's weight; and if there be a good deed, He will multiply it, and will bestow out of His grace a mighty reward.

InshAllaah this writing did make you think about your deeds, and what should be done and what should not be done. And inshAllaah that we would be striving in the way of Allaah subhanahu wa ta'ala, so that we would help and make something that would benefit us. May Allaah forgive me if I may have stated something out of my knowledge. And may the peace and blessings of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be upon you. :)

JazakAllaah Khair.
