Tianfu Agricultural Expo Garden is located in Xingyi Town, Xinjin, Sichuan. Green Seedling Project is located at the garden’s core, Agricultural Expo Island. Five units of wood-structured buildings are well arranged in the field. The total building area is 10,500 square meters. The 1st floor to the 3rd floor will accommodate the space for diversified industries such as agricultural science & technology, breeding research, and cultural exhibitions.

Located in the heart of Chengdu, a major northwest city in northwest China, the project was supposed to be a 20-day temporary installation to celebrate the eighth anniversary of Taikoo Li, an open, low-density neighborhood-form shopping mall, Roarc Renew designed it as a foundationless building, defining it as a “time-limited building” practice.

The 9th Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (Shenzhen) is co-curated by architecture and urban planning scholar Andong Lu, young architect Zigeng Wang and design curator Aric Chen. Continuing the principle of “the city is the exhibition site, the exhibition is the practice”, the primary exhibition of UABB comes to Luohu for the first time. It will be located in GDH City · Jinpi Fang (Kingway Brewery Industrial Heritage). The exhibition opens in December 2022 and will run until March 2023, with over two hundred events to be held during the three-month exhibition period.

The project is located in Eryuan County, northern Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. Avoid the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood and be at the end of a secluded alley. The venue is a first-floor courtyard space for residents to build their own houses. Self-built houses are widely popular brick concrete structure buildings, with no other favorable conditions except for high story heights. How to create an interesting and perceptible space has become the focus of this design.

On a site of 22,000 square meters with a total interior area of 16,000 square meters, the building consists of a library, exhibition halls, and more than 20 well-equipped multi-functional rooms. This new permanent site is designated to host the annual event of the China Entrepreneurs Forum (CEF) as well as the Chinese Entrepreneurs Museum.

Qintai Art Museum is located on the lakeside of Moon Lake in Wuhan’s Hanyang District, facing Meizi Hill across the lake to the south. In order to reduce the weight of the architectural mass on the natural surface of the lake, the form of an undulating natural terrain is used in the direction of the lake, while sinking part of the exhibition spaces underground. This both uses the underground space, and also minimizes the massing on the ground. On the side facing the city road, on the other hand, a vertical facade continues to uphold architecture’s urbanity.
