Pelli Clarke & Partners, in collaboration with Sichuan Provincial Architectural Design and Research Institute (SADI), won the international competition for the new Yibin Station Gateway Development masterplan. The project responds to the city’s prospective status as a significant transportation hub, with two new high-speed rail lines planned to intersect in Yibin, making the city a crossroad between Western China’s four major urban centres. The design takes inspiration from the neighbouring bamboo forest and its rhizomatic root system, focusing on resilience and interconnectivity.

The “Voz do Mar” is a chamber of sound on top of the geological fault, turned on by the tide.

The building is developed on the ground level and is made up of two rectangular programs separated by a linear courtyard to the south that allows the landscape to be introduced in the building. It has a single access linked to a small entrance square that appears as an extension of the sidewalks of the Baix-street. The volume of facilities increases in height allowing some installations to be hidden and at the same time acts as a highlight for the building. A porch receives the user. A second access, also connected to the main hall connects with a neighborhood trail that leads to the soccer field bar and its parking area.

Overall Concept and Goal. Once carrying the branch line of Zhenru freight rail and later Caoyang Farmers’ Market, the near to 1-kilometer-long and 10- to 15-meter-wide site has been re-programmed as a fresh, multilevel, and mixed-use park, walkable and community-centered, shortly after the market’s closure in 2019. Conceived as ‘3K Corridors’, Caoyang Centennial Park brings art to community life, echoing the theme of 2021 Shanghai SUSAS. Site contexts were discovered and scenes reimagined, so as to design a vine-and-melon-like walking belt, from north to south, to reshape the streets’ grassland system, giving a further step of organic renewal of Caoyang Community. The special linear site, having served as a railway land and then a market for over 20 years, is a typical left-over space in megacities. We realize at first sight that even in a familiar city are there unexpected and surprising offcut spaces, and we must consider how to recycle them in the time of urban redevelopment.

In Jojutla, Morelos, Mexico, the earthquake of September 19, 2017, left more than 2,600 homes destroyed, as most of its public infrastructure too, such as schools, plazas, and the central church. Our team was in charge of the reconstruction of the Santuario del Señor de Tula, a heritage worship center with more than five centuries of history.

The development of the project for this single-family home in the Golf de Las Condes neighborhood was a great challenge due to the difficult shape of the lot, with a front of just over 5 meters and an irregular L-shaped geometry that widened towards the rear. The location of the house had to be arranged making the most of the spaces, meeting the need for parking and trying to leave a more private garden area, separated from the access.

the residence emerges from the green surroundings as a large volume with a dynamic black canopy resting on a glass box that makes it ‘levitate’.
