Team Project Leader: DONG Danshen Architecture Design: CHEN Jian, NI Jian, CAI Yi Structure Design: WEI Kaizhong, WU Shuai Water Supply and Drainage Design: Zhou Xin Electrical Design: LI Ping, YE Jin Heating and Ventilation Design: PAN Dahong, ZHANG Minmin Landscape Design: CAI Xiao’ang, WANG Hui This project is located in the hometown of traditional calligraphy, Shuyang, Jiangsu province, and is positioned as the calligraphy art gallery to display and inherit Shuyang calligraphic style.

The concept of architecture abstracts the most fundamental three colors, black, white and red of Chinese calligraphy from rice-paper, brush-pen, seal and creates a pure space experience with pure colors. The aesthetic interest of the calligraphy in the architectural layout referring to Zheng Banqiao’s calligraphic style is to respond to the ideological and practical work, the light and heavy, and the opening and closing of the calligraphy through controlling the size of the building, the space, the contrast of the materials and so on.

Flying Project Commissioner/Creator Kris Lin International Design The project is located at Jiangyin city, the center of the Yangtze River Delta urban economic planning zone. We want to create an urban art experience center. The design inspiration comes from the “flying over the water surface”. We take the water from the Yangtze river to the landscape pool, and design two building blocks around the landscape pool. The two building blocks are connected by the emptying layer, and the gathering space is formed under the emptying layer, which can be used for public activities. And form the final architectural shape of a pair of flying wings.
