May 17, 2023 Susanna Moreira 0

We were thrilled to receive an invitation from the esteemed Galeria Simões de Assis to undertake a project for a new space in Curitiba using an existing property. From a sustainability standpoint, renovation is the most logical route regarding resource utilization and focus on solutions. We believe that reimagining spaces will continue to be an increasingly important exercise for cities.

Farsh Film Studio / ZAV Architects

May 12, 2023 Andreas Luco 0

Farsh Film Studio is the result of the adaptive reuse of a private multiple-story house belonging to Gholamali Beski, into a safe haven for cinephiles in the buzzing heart of Tehran. Gholamali Beski invested his life in the preservation of Iran’s natural resources, and his way of life informed the new life of this building. The adaptation strategy was to reverse the building into its primary construction look by subtracting all the avoidable elements.

Taihang Xinyu Art Museum / Wang Chong Studio

May 7, 2023 Collin Chen 0

In the south Taihang Mountain near to Shibanyan Town, Linzhou, Anyang , Henan Province, driving along the road beside the stream, the upright cliffs, chopped with knives and axes, rush towards us. In Guo Xi’s painting theory “Linquan gaozhi”, there is a saying in the landscape training, “Taihang rests on China, and the face is Lin Lu”, here it can be said that the appearance is responsible. Shibanyan Town is located in the Taihang Grand Canyon Scenic Area. In recent years, it has been promoted to the most important sketching base in the north with the positioning of “Chinese Painting Valley”. It is based on the background of the revitalization of rural cultural tourism that an iconic art gallery is planned to be built in the entrance to the town. In order to avoid the inefficient development brought about by the check and balance of interests, rights and power, a tripartite cooperation model of government artist social capital is practiced here. The art museum supported by the policy provides aesthetic education and cultural benefits for the public, and erects a building for Linzhou. It is a cultural brand; it also provides a living room for cultural exchanges for the artist Meng Xinyu, who has painted the beautiful scenery of Taihang for a long time; it also provides cultural tourism income for local investors to maintain the operation of cultural facilities. The shaping of multiple values brings sustainable longterm development.

April 21, 2023 Hana Abdel 0

11.29 studio bringing back the value of the unusable concrete spacer into ‘Art studio’ in Rayong. Furnish studio takes place in Rayong, Thailand. The studio was owned by a well-known- young Thais artist by the name of Bo Puntita. For some period of time, our team has been a part of her journey. The team gained experience and understood more and more not only about the artist but also about the space condition. Referring to an oil painting art studio, ventilation is the first thing to prioritize along with the site characteristics which inevitably influence the design.

Original BTC Taipei / Soar Design Studio

February 11, 2023 Collin Chen 0

Located in a quiet alley near the Zhongshan MRT station, occupying the first floor of an old 4-story duplex apartment building, the site captures a typical view of nostalgic Taipei. Right opposite the site, a traditional temple called “You-chou”, meaning “in need”, further enriches the local scene and style of Taiwan. For the past 4 decades, the house served as a general office. We opened up the kitchenette and turned it into part of the gallery space, while the original red embossed floor tiles still show traces of the old house. The backyard, once an extended warehouse, is transformed into an outdoor garden. In addition, the entrance wall was pushed back for an interior courtyard “between” in and out, introducing the view from the front yard to blur the old boundaries of space and bring in a sense of intrigue.

Renovation of LUXELAKES A4 Art Museum / TEKTONN ARCHITECTS

December 8, 2022 Collin Chen 0

The renovation includes three areas: The Eco-art Museum, the A4 Gallery, and the entrance space of the A4 art Museum. As several areas are located on different levels, and they lack a physical or formal connection to each other, we needed to find logic:  in the fragmented spaces so that the spaces can be fully integrated into the functional areas of the current art exhibition center.
