It was designed over two years and has a total floor area of 1004㎡. At the request of Namyangju City, it was built with a dedicated area of 89㎡ and three stories above the ground to commemorate Jeong Yak-yong, who built Suwon Hwaseong Fortress with heavy equipment.
The name and logo were expressed in small, round shapes of children with heavy machines and rolling sounds. The six roads between the walls that became the motif of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress are characterized by different heights and heights.
The Hotel Nudibranch is a key part of the Nanji international tourism island development in Zhejiang, in the East China Sea. The site is called Dashaao, which means ‘grand sandy bay’. The design is inspired by sea creatures, which the island is famous for, such as nudibranch and other shellfish. This “mollusk” lifts itself by its soft legs and stretches its tentacles to explore different directions. The public part of the hotel resembles a floating space above the sand. The sandy ground blends into the hotel to become an outdoor playground in the shadow cast by the building above. The legs connect people from the ground to restaurants and bars, and the SPA and swimming pool to the public space above. There is a private garden above the public floor, dedicated to residents of the hotel. The hotel rooms are located in two shell-like buildings that provide most of the rooms with beautiful sea views. The building blends the boundaries between the building and the landscape by its organic form and flexible connectivity; it sits on the site like a nudibranch crouching on the peaceful bay. A lot of Eco-friendly technologies have been installed to minimize the environment impact on the site.

It is a public space for infants and children to play. These days, children spend space at the expense of using it. Children pay for the academy and meet their friends to study, and teenagers stay at cafes by paying the fee. Not only children and teenagers but also infants and toddlers can play at kids cafes and amusement parks. In this world of consuming space, people who are in financial difficulties are not free to use space even to study or play. Therefore, we need public play space for infants and children to use it free, not consumption of space. Publicly operated spaces for infants and children should have been able to operate flexibly due to changes in the program rather than the installation of special amusement facilities at existing kids’ cafes. Above all, we hoped that it would be a place like a house where children can come to their own house and play comfortably. We installed small houses that fit the eyes of small children, and each house will be filled with a different kind of toy or play program. It is a space where naughty people can play around in their own homes.
The new elementary school freely complements the development on the outskirts of the suburban village and with its distinctive archetypal silhouette completes its visual identity. The building with cluster arrangement of classrooms is designed in a passive energy standard with an emphasis on quality common spaces and serves as a community center of the municipality.
A new development in the expanding Kartal district on the Asian side of Istanbul will open up a proposed, master planned community of mixed uses. The district itself has a history of light industrial and manufacturing uses that are moving away to the urban periphery allowing housing to reinvent the vacated sites, thereby, transforming the precinct. Residential is pushing in rapidly as the MA motorway plus a public transport new Metro station makes this area very accessible and desirable. The AND site is fortunately located atop a high point that slopes down towards the water and the Sea of Marmara. Sitting astride this advantageous pinnacle, apartments on the upper levels will have sea views. Additionally, the site is surrounded by civic parkland that imparts a strong landscape context for the design.
The Jiangyin Greenway belongs to a growing movement in China towards healthy, sustainable transportation and urban enjoyment. Infrastructure of this scale has an opportunity, or more correctly a responsibility, to create meaningful places in the city. It is also seen as an opportunity for Jiangyin to assert itself as a creative, progressive and livable city.
Consequently, it will consist of four clearly identifiable segments, each with a unique response to the spirit of the place in which it is located. The north segment of the loop has already been built and passes through the docklands parks. It responds to the history of shipbuilding and its port function. This project, the eastern segment of the loop, leads to the Yangtze River, the river to which Jiangyin owes its existence. Consequently, this segment will respond to the significance of the Yangtze River.

What if the places had no walls? What if our home was always open? What if our city were made only of unimpeded, unrestricted, interconnected open spaces? What if we did not accept the idea that in order to live together we would have to be trapped behind walls and avoid the danger we believe we live in, the frightening threat of the other?
The daily violence is the hardest part of life in the city. To protect ourselves, we demand walls that crystallize “our deepest fears,” as the Brazilian architect Angelo Bucci says. This collective construction of fear invades all places and assumes the most diverse forms, from the most ethereal to the most solid, from the most crystalline to the most opaque.
The canoeing base in Augustów was established in 2019 as the implementation of the winning concept of the architectural competition settled in 2016. The competition task was to create a concept for a water sports center – a canoeist base – and the overall development of the neighboring recreational areas. The investment has been divided into several stages. The canoeing base is the first of them. Finally, the new development of Błonie on the Netta River is still to be built, including a multifunctional sports field, pumptrack, playground and places for citizens and tourists to get some rest.
