Disappeared Manufacturing

Disappeared Manufacturing is a sales centre built in Banqiao District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. The design is based on traditional Taiwanese houses, reinterpreted with a steel structure, glass and metal roof panels. A central courtyard with a skylight is surrounded by showrooms, exhibition areas and a coffee shop. Window grilles, shaped with computer controlled metal lathes, divide the spaces on each floor. A mezzanine platform between two floors allows several events at the same time. Workshops, exhibitions and cultural activities are held in the building.

Dawn of Spring

Dawn of Spring is a building that serves as a demonstration area at first and as a kindergarten later. The three-storey volume stands at a street corner within a residential community in Zhengzhou, China. The second and third floors are lifted above a transparent lower block, which creates a floating appearance. A glass curtain wall wraps the first floor, while perforated aluminium panels cover the upper facades. Vertical wrinkles in the panels reduce monotony. Interconnected screen walls at the entrance enclose a quiet water courtyard.

Yulonghu

Yulonghu is a community center built in Xuzhou, China, next to the Dalong Lake Scenic Area. The plan follows the ritual architecture of the Han dynasties, with a central main hall and a progressive courtyard layout. Visitors pass an entrance lobby, an axial garden, a water garden and a curved bridge before reaching the main building beside the river. The base columns are made of white linen stone, while the entrance arch and the roof grille use copper-like brushed aluminum panels. The design joins local cultural tradition with modern construction methods.

Guobin Road

Sunac Guobin Road is a residential complex located at the foot of Nanyue Mountain in Guiyang. The site lies where the city meets nature and where the old city meets the new city. The buildings face the Nanming River and follow the slope through multi-level platforms, which solve the complex height differences of the terrain. The terrain also reduces road noise from the east. Stone and glass curtain walls are used, with creamy-white and dark gray tones. Vertical components and floating plates form the tops of the buildings and extend the view toward the landscape.

Hebei Hua Ao Hospital

Hebei Hua Ao Hospital is a trauma treatment center built in Zhangjiakou, China. The design concept is a snow ribbon, expressed as a horizontal facade with window heights that change with orientation and function. The varied windows control sun shading and daylight and reduce the need for air conditioning. Solar collector panels on the roof save electric energy. Waiting seats are arranged in enclosed groups to encourage communication, and artworks and landscape features are placed indoors to help patients feel calm. The hospital combines treatment, rehabilitation and education functions.

Qingdao Pingdu Olympic Center

Qingdao Pingdu Olympic Center is a sports complex built in Pingdu, Qingdao, Shandong Province, China. The complex holds a stadium with 15,000 seats, a basketball hall with 7,000 seats and a natatorium with 1,500 seats. The basketball hall and the swimming pool are combined into one building, which reduces the difference in scale between the volumes and saves land for squares and internal roads. Core spaces and auxiliary spaces are separated, so structural spans are shorter and construction is simpler. The plan also supports flexible daily use after events.
