The Project is located by the Tianshan River in the Pengjiang District of Jiangmen. The exhibition hall serves as a centralized display of the water-control achievements of Pengjiang. It is an important place for external science popularization of water control and environmental protection and for the exchange of water control salons. In addition, it is also served as the rostrum for the Dragon Boat Race which is held once a year. The Owner hopes to open it to the public on World Water Day after the Spring Festival of 2021. It will take only 8 months from design to completion and opening, including the Spring Festival holiday and one and a half months of indoor exhibition arranging. This is a fast-construct building and a project where construction strategies dominate.

LaborUnion fashion studio is an American-style retro fashion design studio in China. The project is located in an Industrial Park in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The designer transforms an open warehouse into a minimalist and open space. In the design of interior space, differently from most clothing stores, LaborUnion does not need a display area, Instead, it pays more attention to the clear road line and the details on the display points when entering the space, so that people can pay attention to the product itself.

If a restaurant chain ever considers itself an active storyteller in the art and science of serving food-lovers, why stick to one identity? So often do chain restaurants play the safe route by sticking to one branded spatial design that looks the same everywhere. That isn’t the case for Chubby Girl’s Noodle Bar, whose specialty, Chongqing’s local dish “xiaomian”, captures the hearts of many Beijingers. Its latest branch is an iteration of its aspirations as a passionate restaurateur. Though carrying on with crispness and openness, the new store is not a duplicate, and the executives returned to OFFICE AIO again for another complete design. The collaboration does not seek to adapt the previous one to the new venue, but expand on its last concept, to create a sequel. OFFICE AIO remains committed to the multilayered verticality of Chongqing’s idiosyncratic cityscape. Albeit, with a new strategy, one that deftly creates an interplay of the cyber age’s connectedness and the industrial physicality of the last century.

SoFi Stadium was designed to be unlike any stadium anywhere, a reflection of Southern California’s laid-back lifestyle and an addition to the world-class entertainment venues the region is known for. From open-air concourses to a 360-degree dual-screen video board above the field, the 3.1 million-square-foot stadium (288,000 sq. meters) has quickly taken its place on the global stage with design elements never seen before at a sports venue. The HKS-designed structure is the home to both the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers of the National Football League. In February, the Rams edged out the Cincinnati Bengals to win Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium, becoming the second team in NFL history — the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the first — to win a Super Bowl title in its own stadium.
