An Art Container – Instead of creating certain atmosphere forexhibition, in this case, we emphasize the connection between the subject and object.
The original architecture is Victorian style with Western-style gardens, as an overly makeup woman, is outdated. The owner intended to transform its function into an art space for the public using. Our first step is to remove all the decorations from her, to show her purely look.
Disharmony is what has happened in this project: an imitated aspect from a mighty culture without its core. For instance, the Victorian building without its cultural base, the only thing it has is symbol which needs to be reconsider and to be released. In short, what we aim to approach in this project is to make disharmony from disharmony. As a result, the building would be back to the original context, a spatial container.
It is a cultural exchange facility built in front of Ota station in Gunma prefecture.
Ota City has a population of about 220,000 people, and the number of users of the station exceeds 10,000 people in a day. But few people walk in front of the station, shopping streets are quiet. To pioneer breakthroughs for such a situation prevailing throughout Japan, it is the purpose of construction to bring life back in front of Ota Station.
Therefore, for people to easy to walk though and stop by, we aimed for architecture that the town is continuing to the inside.
Penda China Office has recently completed the design for the renewal of the Florence (Dalian) Culture and Art Exchange Center at Dalian china. “I hope that art will breathe new life into the dreary urban spaces, create new building identity while reconstructing the old spatial experiences, and make the project a name card for the urban renewal.” –Dayong Sun

The George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater began as an urban master plan designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects for an entire city block in Salt Lake City.

Magazzino Italian Art is a private initiative conceived by Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu to house their collection of postwar Italian Art. The commission consisted in a full renovation of an existing 11,000 square-foot building and an additional 14,000 square feet of new construction. The existing L-shaped structure was erected in 1964 as a distribution center for dairy products and surrounded by loading docks and canopies. The new space needed a taller clearance, since some of the collection’s pieces were large, as well as highly controlled natural light.
Great home or small town? Arts center of Verin provides the intimacy of a home and the heterogeneity of a town.
The initial approach of the project comes from a previuos study of the environment.
From this analysis, we get the conclusion that Concello do Verín stands out by the heterogeneity of its blocks, which have been developed around an urban nucleus. Even though each block has different shapes, the way they are set is the same in most of them.
FABRIKA is the new type of multifunctional space in Tbilisi.
