Twelve buildings to look forward to in 2021 Next year will see the opening of the coastal Wormhole Library that MAD is constructing on the Chinese island of Hainan. It will have a sinuous, white-concrete form punctured by large circular cut-outs, intended to evoke "a wormhole that transcends time and space". In Niger, Adjaye Associates will complete a memorial to the people who lost their lives fighting terrorists on the borders of the West African country. It will be distinguished by a grid of 56 star-shaped concrete columns that extend 20 metres into the air and are raised on a large room for civic events.
