CACTUS, a clothing brand, has a concept retail store in Xi’an. The client expects it to be pink and romantic. The garden of that early morning years ago recurred in my mind as we wandered and explored the empty site. Vaguely, the pink atmosphere and poetic filled in the air, which brought me back to that day’s mist and fantastic colors, as if waiting for our exploration…

December 20, 2019 Collin Chen 0

Angelot is a patisserie located in Xiasha Hangzhou. The original site owns multiple disadvantage, for instance, a basement shaft blocked almost 1/3 of the storefront; the store front is recessed from the architecture facade; the full height interior window is not facing a very pleasant view. Instead of simply hiding all these disadvantages, we try to use them and connect them with a simple concept —— a gradually disclosed sense of ritual.

Ripple Pavilion / Atelier Chang

Ripple Pavilion is the annual outdoor pavilion project at Gyeongnam Art Museum in South Korea.  Thousands of pixels – acrylic tubes with mechanical joints – span across a waving canopy while scattering light and color in constantly changing expression.  It is an interactive installation where people’s movements transform the appearance of the pavilion at different moments in time.  The overall effect of the pavilion begins from a small contact with a tube, which swings other pixels in the vicinity to create rippling phenomenon.  Then the physical movement translates into refracted colors transforming the whole installation into a moving iridescent field.

The design of SOOSOO coffee is from the meaning of ‘pleasantly simple’. To consider about a direction of SOOSOO, we thought about the beauty of Korean construction of the royal palace and its philosophy. The project celebrates the concept ‘儉而不陋 華而不侈’. It defines ‘frugal, but unsordid, splendid, but not extravagance’. We started with this phrase for brand attitude.

Kiht’han House / Bates Masi + Architects

December 19, 2019 Pilar Caballero 0

Too often the architectural response to flood-prone sites is to distort conventional designs and methods to meet the flood protection requirements, masking the issue at best.  In contrast, the design for this property overlooking a coastal pond and the ocean beyond celebrates the periodically rising water levels. Rather than hiding the flood damage prevention measures, the design takes advantage of them, thereby embracing the duality of the wetland landscape to intertwine nature and built form.
