The designer creates a unique landscape in the space with vivid expression and bold outline. Located at the coast of the East China Sea, Zhongshuge has interpreted the culture of the times in the city, Ningbo.
Walking close to zhongshuge, you will see that the symbolic glass curtain wall is embedded in the thick stone facade. The concise base sends forth power and the charms of the bookstore is quietly displaced.
After opening its Shanghai studio more than 12 years ago, Danish architectural firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects realizes its first library project in China, the31,800-square-metre NingboNewLibrary. Located 200 kilometres south of Shanghai at the centre of Ningbo, China’s new cultural hub, the library is a vital element in the ongoing development of the city.
Shortly after the successful collaboration for the German Pavilion at the Expo 2010 in Shanghai, the two practices playze and Schmidhuber joined forces again to win the invited competition for the Ningbo Urban Planning Exhibition Center. Eight years later the construction has been completed and the center opened to the public. It is located at the heart of the newly built “Ningbo Eastern New Town” adjacent to the city hall and the civic square.
DA Group was invited to design a model villa of the residential development “PROVIDENCE PLACE” by Jingrui Real Estate Group. Situated at Ningbo, China, the project combines both functionality and aesthetics, and presents a new quality lifestyle via the delicate and entry-luxury furniture. Focusing on the material palette and spatial expression, the designers applied “minimalism” to the interior design, and eventually created a dynamic and diversified spatial effect.
The Pavilion covers an area of 178 square meters. The building presents an irregular geometrical form as a whole. The intention of facing the main entrance towards the entrance of the Tianyi Square is to enrich the city interface of the Square while keeping the commercial atmosphere intact.
The roof ridge of the building conforms the direction from the entrance to the central axis of the Square. Considering the temporary nature of the Pavilion and its costs, the form of folding surfaces is adopted instead of using curved roof, and the turning of the roof shows dynamic changes according to different functions. A semi-outdoor sheltered space is formed with a suspended lightweight structure to attract the crowd into the private interior display area.

The Chinese people pay attention to the harmonious unity between man and nature. As for place for the elderly, they pay more attention to the full integration with the environment. The project is located in the Village of Zhuangyuanao, Xikou Town, Ningbo, surrounded by mountains. It is backed by Huajian Mountain and Bogu Mountain. The terrain is high, and sometimes the clouds are steaming like thick ink and sometimes like a traditional Chinese painting, and the surrounding mountains and colorful walls are reflected in the water. In the water, people, architecture and nature are integrated into one, like a landscape painting that is slowly unfolding.
The Ningbo Haishu Waterfront district is an island, surrounded by water on all four sides, offering a unique topographical setting in which to reimagine urban life in 21stcentury China. Contemporary Chinese cities have entered a new era of 21st-century urbanism. Old strategies for developing new districts no longer work: cities cannot rely on instant buildings, and iconic projects no longer beget their own economies.
This project is located in a mountain range called Dichen Valley, on the outskirts of port city Ningbo, located in Eastern China’s Zhejiang Province.
To be able to appreciate and respect the pristine site in Dichen Valley in its totality, we propose a series of carefully placed architectural interventions to create a route of pure and distinct landscape experiences. The first finished building is a small project that houses the management offices, staff and workers required for the rest of the site’s development and maintenance.
Dongqian Lake, a water reservoir supplying the residents of Ningbo, requires regular dredging which results in a large quantity of by-product. The local authorities recognised an opportunity to use this by-product for the creation of a man-made island within the lake.
