Pingjiang Wonder

As the first building amid the city complex turned from old town to the city gateway, the bookstore was expected to merge into the different development stages naturally. Explorations based on Negation Logic oriented the design to a delicately-cut crystal. Being divided horizontally into 2 parts, the upper part of the building was faceted and battered the sliced facades by a vertical angle of 4-6 degrees towards the sky, as a new town pioneer, while the transparent lower part was fit into the human scale for better integration into the culturally unique streets.

Headquarters Complex

The project is located in the Creative Media Technology Park (CMTP) in Changsha. The site is adjacent to the Liuyang River and the central axis of the park. The building height limit of the site is 120m, which is lower than the surrounding parcels in the CMTP. Therefore, the design seeks to create a unique city landmark by linking three towers. The three towers are arranged in an encircling manner along the river and connected in the air, ensuring the maximum view toward the river.

Besides, the uniqueness of the main temple, the landscape architecture is created through a Zen landscape garden with both Japanese cardinal red gazebo and Buddhist poem calligraphy crafted stones. Hence, it evoked the scene of the integration of the modern era and the ancient oriental aesthetic.

Creating energetic urban public space with pedestrian friendly scale while respecting the existing urban context is the core design principle for this large scale urban complex. Designers opened up the northeast corner of the site, right cross street from Hongjialou Cathedral which is a historical landmark of the city, and dedicated it as a cultural plaza. At the center of this plaza is the renovated 100-year-old Sister House. This unique experience marks the entry point of the vibrant 24-hour leisure and entertainment district.
