Jinan Changzhuang Church / Archipoetry Studio

April 29, 2021 Yu Xin Li 0

One day back to last September, I was thinking about the beam and pillar again, then wrote down the poem above. Beam and pillar, is there really a substantial difference? I feel there is a blurred boundary. Just like wall and roof, door and window, or bucket arch and arch, to me, they are literally the same. Jinan Changzhuang Church is located in Changzhuang Village,a remote place in the countryside of Jinan, China. The church is situated in the center of a forest and crops which are naturally segregated from the village.

Jinjiang District Yucheng Street Renovation / Fanzhu Design

April 28, 2021 Collin Chen 0

Project Brief. Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu is the most important commercial complex in Chengdu, and also a very representative open commercial block in China. Since its opening in 2014, it has become a shopping and fashion landmark in Chengdu. The project base “Yucheng Street” is located in the southeast of Taikoo Li. It is about 150 meters long, 5.1 meters at the narrowest point and 7.4 meters at the widest point. Before the renovation, Yucheng Street was separated from Taikoo Li by a section of the wall. For many years, one side of the wall has been the busiest commercial street in the city, and the other side is the old residential quarters and scattered small shops.

Shoreline Dwelling / Murdough Design Architects

April 28, 2021 Andreas Luco 0

This design is a modern interpretation of a traditional cabin: a simple but dynamic wood-clad box and sheltering roof with ample connection to the outdoors. A framework of “expanding” and “sheltering” spaces are choreographed in a sequence of episodes to ground and amplify the relationships and connections between the building and the landscape. With one’s movement through the cabin, multiple experiences of one’s place in the site are framed, unfolded and revealed. Materials and clean detailing support varied readings of interior / exterior conditions.
