    4 July 2016 Messner Mountain Museum, Corones, Kronplatz, South Tyrol, Italy, by Zaha Hadid Architects World Architecture Festival 2016: A Brazilian rainforest house, a spiralling university building in Tenerife and a bulbous blue drawing studio are among the 343 projects shortlisted for awards at the World Architecture Festival in Berlin this November (+ slideshow). The WAF 2016 shortlist includes entries from 58 countries, with buildings by well-known firms including Zaha Hadid Architects, BIG, Studio Gang and Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. Other firms to make this year's list include Norwegian studio Reiulf Ramstad Architects, Istanbul- based Emre Arolat Architects, Brazilian office Studio MK27, London-based CRAB Studio and Shanghai studio Neri&Hu. The UK has the largest number of projects this year – including a Maggies' Centre for cancer care by Foster + Partners and a treetop walkway by Glen Howells Architects – followed by Australia and Turkey. Winners will be selected from across 32 categories and announced during the festival. One project will go on to win the coveted World Building of the Year title, and another will be named Future Project of the Year. Judges this year include David Chipperfield, Ole Scheeren, Manuelle Gautrand, and BIG's Kai-Uwe Bergmann. Last year the World Building of the Year award went to The Interlace, the "vertical village" designed by Buro Ole Scheeren. Other past winners include a community centre in Vietnam, an art gallery in New Zealand and the Gardens by the Bay tropical park in Singapore. After four years in Singapore, WAF returns to Europe for 2016. It will take place at Arena Berlin, Germany, from 16 to 18 November, in conjunction with the Inside Festival of interior design.

  • Dear Colleagues and Friends in FOBISSEA Schools, Welcome To
    Issue No. 2 - 2012—2013 F R O M T H E C H A I R M A N Dear Colleagues and Friends in FOBISSEA Schools, Welcome to the latest edition of the FOBISSEAN newsletter which is published three times per year. FOBISSEA Heads have been discussing and debating the expansion of the Federation for a number of years. These discussions have been in the context of our location in a region of the world where the number of good international schools is increasing and consequently, so are applications for membership. There are more than 20 schools regionally who have expressed an inter- est in joining the Federation, which currently has 38 full member schools. In recognition of this, at the recent FOBISSEA Heads Business Meeting held at Dulwich College, Beijing, the member school Heads made several decisions that will start to prepare the federation for a period of steady, managed expansion. The first step will be to appoint a full-time Executive Officer who will be empowered to conduct FOBISSEA business in the lengthy periods of time between meetings. The new Executive Officer, once appointed, will support the work of the Executive Committee, which will continue to be composed of elected Heads. To support the projected growth of the federation, the membership sub-committee has been charged with finding ways to streamline the current membership application process and also to consider some changes to the existing categories of membership. A decision has now been made to formally change the name of the federation, so that it accurately reflects our geographical area of influence.
