The project of the Cité du théâtre in Paris arises as an invitation to participate, share and debate. Its aim is to create new scenic spaces for three prestigious Institutions in the world of theater at the Ateliers Berthier, built in 1895 by Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris Opera: the Comédie-Française, the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique (CNSAD) and the Théâtre National de I’Odéon- Théâtre de l’Europe. The project proposes a large raised garden that provides visual continuity with the Martin Luther King Park located on Boulevard Berthier. This garden, conceived as a great urban setting, accentuates the prominence of the Garnier buildings, which will be restored respecting their structure and materiality.

Bob Chen Design Office completed a 100-year-old village reconstruction project in Wuzhen. The owners are part of the new generation of rapid urbanization.

By imagining, making, communicating, and sharing within the pavilion’s activity spaces on the ground, a bright and open future is revealed in the clouds above. We developed our concept for the pavilion to respond to the idea of communicating, openness, hospitality, and change.

By removing the pavilion walls, we are removing barriers to interaction, allowing spaces to flow and movement to be fluid and relaxed.”
Shenzhen Longhua Book City is the sixth Book City Building in Shenzhen with ~46,000m2 building area. It is set to become a new local cultural hub which is more than a place of reading, but also a place for innovative design workshops, leisure, entertainment, child education, and commercial. From design initiation, we hope that the design would be able to provoke dialogues between different mediums: between nature and people, art and culture, space and sensation, et cetera. By looking into the past, present and future of Book City culture, our design aims to rejuvenate the daily life of citizens and help them to rediscover the joy of reading by bringing them a brand new reading experience, through a smart architecture that can breathe (natural ventilation), grow (flexibility), and understand the needs of readers (interactive).
