Gandhi Bhawan at Panjab University in Chandigarh, India by Pierre Jeanneret, 1962. An auditorium set in the middle of a pond, with white pebble cladding that separates it from the red sandstone buildings around it.

Leça Swimming Pools, Leça da Palmeira, Portugal by Álvaro Siza, 1966. One of his earliest works, designed in his twenties during a fascist government. Raw concrete walls and changing rooms step down through the rocks of the Atlantic coast to two seawater pools amongst rocks.

Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Seoul, South Korea by Zaha Hadid, 2014. Over 45,000 aluminium panels, each one a different size and curvature, wrap a building with no straight edges and no two facades alike. Built over the excavated remains of a Joseon era gate and sections of the old Seoul city wall.

Aranya Art Center, Beidaihe, China by Neri&Hu, Neri&Hu Design and Research Office 2019. A conical courtyard is carved out of the centre of a heavy, textured concrete volume, with galleries spiralling around it and a stepped amphitheatre at its base, doubling the building as both an art centre and a communal space for the seaside community around it.

Holy Cross Chapel in Turku Cemetery, Finland by Pekka Pitkänen, 1967. A minimalist concrete funeral chapel where everything unnecessary has been stripped away, leaving only a play of concrete and light.

Museum of Modern Literature, Marbach am Neckar, Germany by David Chipperfield, 2006. The building extends the base of the adjacent Schiller National Museum, a classical building from 1903, and sits above it with the feel of a small temple, columns and a roof resting on supports, set back from a base storey below.

Most renovations of old Melbourne homes end the same way, knock off the back and bolt on a two storey box. Austin Maynard Architects chose restraint over scale with a layout that did a lot with a little. Join Andrew Maynard and Kevin Hui as they tour through Erindale House. Austin Maynard Architects

Kunsthal in Rotterdam, Netherlands by Rem Koolhaas and OMA, 1992. One of OMA’s early projects, still powerful and influential today. The site had a six metre change in elevation, so instead of fighting it, ramps and sloping floors run straight through the building, carrying visitors continuously between exhibition halls that hold no fixed collection of their own.

One of our favourites from the archive, now with a fresh reason to watch it again: this became part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing this year. Muuratsalo Experimental House, Finland by Alvar and Elissa Aalto, 1954. Built as their own summer home and testing ground, the courtyard walls are laid with over 50 different brick and tile patterns, a physical catalogue of ideas Aalto could try out before using them elsewhere.
