MAD has unveiled a new Europe-based project titled ‘UNIC.’ The building is designed to capture the attention of passerby's, standing out from the surrounding Haussman buildings and providing citizens with a breath of fresh air when it comes to the visuals of Paris’ 17th arrondissement. ‘UNIC’ is located in Clichy-Batignolles, a "sustainable urban development" in Paris’ core. The building will house 7,500 residents and further the city’s efforts toward a sustainable future.
The ‘UNIC’ features a green space, a nearby metro station, and reduced energy consumption when it comes to heating and cooling its units. MAD’s architects commented that "[t]he striking design of UNIC also acts as a foil against the nearby Hausmann apartment blocks as it sits along the edge of Martin Luther King Park."

Trend Themes
1. Building Sustainability - As sustainable urban development becomes more prevalent, there is an opportunity for architects and designers to create buildings that incorporate green spaces, energy-efficient systems, and reduced emissions.
2. Visual Contrast Design - Designers can create buildings that stand out from their surroundings by incorporating bold and unique features to create a stunning visual contrast.
3. Urban Eco-living - As cities become more densely populated, there is an opportunity for architects and urban developers to create sustainable buildings that address overcrowding while incorporating green spaces and reducing energy consumption.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects can use sustainable building materials, create buildings with green spaces and energy-efficient systems, and incorporate bold and unique features to create visual contrast in their designs.
2. Urban Development - Urban developers can work on sustainable urban development projects that prioritize green spaces, energy-efficient systems, and reduced emissions while addressing issues such as overcrowding.
3. Construction - Builders and construction companies can incorporate sustainable building practices such as the use of green materials, energy-efficient systems, and waste reduction into their construction projects.
