Tension Instrument Concert Hall

Lihan Jin Concert Hall Architecture Friday, 17 July 2026

Tension Instrument

The project is based on the study of architecture and music. The design focuses on how to take inspiration from intangible music and present it in tangible architectural space. The design ultimately combines the two through "tension", a force that is prevalent in both architecture and music. The concert hall is an orchestration of walls, balconies, and acoustic panels, which are developed from a unique architectural prototype by different scales and tectonics. The dramatic contrast of old and new creates a new cultural landmark for Prague.

Benjakitti

Benjakitti Park is located on the site of a disused tobacco factory in central Bangkok.

Arch-Age-Design (AAD) Demonstration Zone Architecture Wednesday, 15 July 2026

Cuiwan Zhongcheng

Cuiwan Zhongcheng is a demonstration zone and later community center built in Zhengzhou, China. The building stands at the junction of two plots and opens towards the city. The design applies the concept of the Mobius ring, translating a continuous four dimensional form into an open, multi dimensional space that can also serve as a pedestrian bridge. A steel structure supports external walls of hyperboloid aluminum plates, which are made in a factory and assembled on site. All materials used are low carbon, recyclable and environmentally friendly.

Arshia Mahmoodi Single-Family House Architecture Tuesday, 14 July 2026

RO54

RO54 is a single-family house built on a hillside site in Los Angeles. The house uses a split-level layout with staggered floor plates arranged around a central void. Central bridging stairs bring sunlight and visual connection to the deepest level, which reduces the physical and psychological distance between rooms. The outer shell was CNC milled from a digital design and follows streamlined automotive forms. A 16 foot cantilever on the second floor forms an entrance canopy. Open floor plans allow furniture to be rearranged.

The Circle is an international school in Hefei Airport New Area, China. The school includes a kindergarten, a primary school and a middle school, with ninety classes across a building area of 40,000 square meters. In response to the park and lake view to the west and the oval shape of the site, the building opens toward the park in an embracing gesture. School life is arranged around a central sports field, so most rooms gain a wide view. The kindergarten stands as a separate building. Highly modular construction limits the number of module types and shortens building time.

Mountain Impression Power Plant

Mountain Impression

Backed by undulating karst mountains, this factory building draws its design language from the natural context. To the north of the site there is a bare plateau flattened by the mining of a cement factory. In order to respond to the nature and memory of the site, the facade of the building is featured by a pattern of undulating mountain range to visually remedy the damage to the mountains by human impacts, evoking the self-examination of human activities. The pattern of the mountain range is derived from the combination of four sets of trigonometric function curves through parametric design.
