The Nanjing Art Center is located at the southernmost tip of Nanjing New Town, where three rivers intersect to create a landform known as “The Fish Mouth” due to its unique shape. The area surrounding the site is a new urban neighborhood that will become Nanjing’s Central Business District. Located in the center of this new urban district, the Nanjing Art Center is devoted to the display of unique art pieces and new lifestyle options. The design of the project unifies architecture and landscape to create a new public space—a “living room” for the city—that will project an iconic presence and will become a landmark for the region.

Experiencing the Hardtbergturm means leaving everyday life behind, clearing the mind, and letting your gaze wander over the treetops and the characteristic landscape of the region at a height of 26.60 meters. From here you can discover the castles of Königstein, Falkenstein, and Kronberg, the slopes of the Taunus with the Feldberg and the Altkönig as well as the plain along the Main with its center Frankfurt and its airport from a new perspective. On clear days, you can even look all the way to the Black Forest.

Anshi Village, Yibin, Sichuan, is an ordinary village behind Nianpan Mountain. The villages are connected by lots of lanes, scattered fields and ponds, and different houses and trees. It is a typical Southern Sichuan settlement. Village Academy is located in the center of Anshi Village, at the junction of three roads, with a 4m height different from the road. The building faces the rice & fish symbiosis area, with an open gentle slope behind.

Stargazing Pavilion
The main body of the building is divided into two independent spaces: The first floor is designed into a dodecagonal plan, which is an indoor service space defined by light steel structure and glass. The hemispherical membrane structure with a diameter of 6.6m on the second floor provides an operable shielding space for astronomical observation activities. With 18 thin columns as the foundational supports, the building “floats” on the natural soil to minimize the impact of its construction. The main structure is three pairs of “inverted V-shaped” columns supporting the second-floor slab, which not only gives an extremely visual tension but also provides sufficient anti-vibration stability for future observation use.
