Chris Bosse (born 30 September 1971) is an architect born in Germany.He was a designer of the Beijing National Aquatics Centre, which was built for the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Chris Bosse was born in Stuttgart to an architect named Wolfgang Bosse. His brother Jan Bosse became a theater director while Bosse followed in his father's footsteps and studied architecture, first in Berlin and Cologne and later at EPFL in Lausanne. Shortly after his studies , he moved to Sydney and started working as an associate architect for PTW, where he was one of the leading designers of the Beijing National Aquatics Centre that was built for the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Bosse won an Emerging Architect Award from RIBA in London in 2008, the 40 under 40 award for emerging designers in Asia in 2012, as well as the Australian Design Honor Award [1] at the Australian Design Center in Sidney in 2015.
In 2007 Bosse founded L-A-V-A (Laboratory for Visionary Architecture) with Tobias Walliser and Alexander Rieck. [2]
Since 2010, Bosse has worked as an adjunct professor and Research Innovation fellow at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in Australia.
Bosse has based his work on the computational study of organic structures and resulting spatial conceptions. In his practice, he often uses the practice of biomimetics. [3] His research lies in the exploration of unusual structures pushing the boundaries of the traditional understanding of structure and architecture with digital and experimental form finding. The potential for naturally evolving systems such as snowflakes, spider webs and soap bubbles for new building typologies and structures informs Bosse's work. [4]
Chris is one of 3 co-founders of the Laboratory for Visionary Architecture (LAVA) and Tobias Wallisser and Alexander Rieck. LAVA has offices in Sydney, Stuttgart, Berlin and Vietnam.
LAVA is an international think tank set up in 2007 with a focus on research and design. Its stated goal is to reposition architecture at the forefront of cultural, technological and social change. [5]
On 7 October 2008 at Dubai cityscape, Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher and LAVA presented the design for The Michael Schumacher World Champion Tower (MSWCT), the first in a series of seven towers to be built worldwide. [6]
LAVA architects won the bid to design the city center for the sustainable eco-city Masdar in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2010. [7] LAVA imagined an outdoor city-centre based on traditional European public plazas that would encourage social interaction. However, Masdar's arid climate leaves outdoor spaces subject to the heat of the desert. To ameliorate this problem and create a comfortable place to gather and shop, the architects incorporated adaptive building technologies, The project for the city centre includes a plaza, hotel, convention centre, entertainment and retail facilities. Masdar centre won the Special Award - Environmental Category in the 2009 Cityscape Dubai Awards. [8]
LAVA's Digital Origami Tigers are travelled the world as part of the WWF year of the tiger campaign. [9]

Other projects include the architectural installation 'Green Void', in Sydney, furniture including Sherman Bibliotheca, Sydney, office screens for Schiavello and a desk light ‘Evolution’ for Wallpaper* and ‘Light Void’ for Artemide; the MTV Awards set in Sydney; Myer fashion show set; an origami emergency shelter; and a planned futuristic residence on a Beijing rooftop. LAVA's Martian Embassy in Sydney houses shop and writing classes for children in an immersive space of oscillating plywood ribs integrating seating, counters, and shelves and animated by red planet light and sound projections. [12] LAVA won [with DESIGNSPORT and JDAW] the international competition held by the Federal Sport Commission, Ethiopia, to design a new FIFA and Olympic-standard 60,000-seat stadium and sports village in Addis Ababa. Construction commenced in 2014. [13]
In 2012 Bosse won the '40 Under 40 Award' that recognizes rising design stars under 40. [14]

Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid was an Iraqi-British architect, artist and designer, recognised as a key figure in architecture of the late-20th and early-21st centuries. Born in Baghdad, Iraq, Hadid studied mathematics as an undergraduate and then enrolled at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in 1972. In search of an alternative system to traditional architectural drawing, and influenced by Suprematism and the Russian avant-garde, Hadid adopted painting as a design tool and abstraction as an investigative principle to "reinvestigate the aborted and untested experiments of Modernism [...] to unveil new fields of building".

Contemporary architecture is the architecture of the 21st century. No single style is dominant. Contemporary architects work in several different styles, from postmodernism, high-tech architecture and new references and interpretations of traditional architecture to highly conceptual forms and designs, resembling sculpture on an enormous scale. Some of these styles and approaches make use of very advanced technology and modern building materials, such as tube structures which allow construction of buildings that are taller, lighter and stronger than those in the 20th century, while others prioritize the use of natural and ecological materials like stone, wood and lime. One technology that is common to all forms of contemporary architecture is the use of new techniques of computer-aided design, which allow buildings to be designed and modeled on computers in three dimensions, and constructed with more precision and speed.

The architecture of Sydney, Australia’s oldest city, is not characterised by any one architectural style, but by an extensive juxtaposition of old and new architecture over the city's 200-year history, from its modest beginnings with local materials and lack of international funding to its present-day modernity with an expansive skyline of high rises and skyscrapers, dotted at street level with remnants of a Victorian era of prosperity.

Parametricism is a style within contemporary avant-garde architecture, promoted as a successor to Modern and Postmodern architecture. The term was coined in 2008 by Patrik Schumacher, an architectural partner of Zaha Hadid (1950–2016). Parametricism has its origin in parametric design, which is based on the constraints in a parametric equation. Parametricism relies on programs, algorithms, and computers to manipulate equations for design purposes.
