With the curatorial theme of “Searching the Glow of Future”, Glow Shenzhen 2021 seeks to integrate light art into urban life and release the vitality of urban public space. Daxing Jizi is invited to exhibit their architectural installation, “Dream Glow Pavilion”, at the Shenzhen Universiade Center, Glow Shenzhen’s Longgang section. The Universiade Center is about 990 meters wide from east to west and 1050 meters long from north to south, covering an area of 520,000 sqm, serving as a major place for fitness and leisure for the surrounding residents. During our research, we found that there are few small-scale structures for the public to relax, so how incorporating a small enjoyable space into the massive center became our initial intention of the design.

The Green Silhouette Residential Building / Archismith Architects

April 9, 2022 Hana Abdel 0

The Green Silhouette is a renewal project, rebuilt from an abandoned structure that was part of a master plan with 3 buildings on the same plot. Considering recent changes in market trends, the old structure had to be torn down since it no longer fit the new unit layouts. However, following the authority’s requirement for resubmission, the building could not be demolished completely resulting in the reuse of the existing foundation and retention of the existing column layout on the ground floor with some addition of a new structure. Above the ground floor are 3-meter-deep transfer beams carrying different structural grids above.

This is a representation of our client: private at first, but familiar over time.
