February 20, 2019 Collin Chen 0

The Xinsu Group Research and Development (hereinafter referred to as “R&D “) Center is the third project designed by Minax Architects for the same owner. In this design, we had the chance to grasp even more accurately the owner’s requests and taste , also combining the new building with the corporate culture. As the R&D center of the company, the building undertakes the technical research and development work of the whole group. Xinsu Group has just completed a new large-scale merger and acquisition. The R&D departments originally belonging to different companies must work together in this new R&D center. Therefore, achieving smooth communication between R&D personnel of different departments through harmonious coexistence of architecture, landscape and environment has become the focus of this design.

If the residents of Neo Bankside had won their legal battle against Tate Modern’s rooftop viewing platform, it would have set a dangerous precedent for London, says Owen Hatherley. It’s not often that a judgement of any kind in Britain goes against the interests of private property and in favour of the untrammelled enjoyment of
