| Congress Center Hangzhou | Peter Ruge Architekten Posted: 11 Jul 2011 09:21 AM PDT
After perennial design and construction phase the congress center of the new city administration of Hangzhou, China is completed. The concept and design of the facade was made by Peter Ruge Architekten (before Pysall Ruge) in collaboration with Prof Wang Xiaosong from DBH GmbH.

It will be the focus building of the new large business and administration district of the city. The new fascinating complex consists of six office high-rise buildings arranged in a circle and connect in the upper floors through a circular bridge building. The high-rise buildings are flanked with flat multi-functional buildings including four main entrances from all directions. As the new central form of the main administration building of the City of Hangzhou the Congress Centre resembles a large precious stone.

To express the building's regional characteristics, design of the façade is based on the superimposed configurations of the tea cultivation pathways and the planting nets. As a result, the building is enveloped by a multi-layered fabric, giving it a true architectural plasticity. Seen from a distance, the façade appears like a rigid volume, but dissolves into a network of structures and levels as you come closer.

The façade structure would be extended unto the roof of the congress centre to cover up it partly.

This part isn't covered and is designed and planted as a green landscape.

In December 2010, a French Architecture and Landscape office Oglo‘s La Muñeca project were selected by the Municipality of Allariz, Spain, to be built for the 2011 Allariz Garden Festival with the theme ” Fashion in the garden”, regarding the industrial textile past of this old village of Galicia. The garden just opened to public and could be visited during summer, until November.

Only the being's dimensions and proportions matter. Its peculiarities, its flaws, its disadvantages are sublimed by creation and become the assets, the basis, the nourishing roots of fashion. They structure its path, define its substance, and guide its function. Static and still when unworn, fashion transforms itself; it evolves in space once inhabited. It also shelters life. It takes over, welcomes and protects it. Once wrapped around the being, fashion, lifeless until then, comes alive.

After going across a thin plant screen, we slowly walk down through the flowers and the soil. An internal world is revealed; its soft curves cocoon and guide us. The plants offer as many smells as they do colors. Our senses are excited. We wrap ourselves into space towards the image of our condition, towards the structuring signal. Further below, sheltered from any hazard, we are taken in the center of the symbol and, unscathed, we contemplate.

People drink around 1L of water a day on the average, but they don’t drink a full glass of water always. Water is discarded after drinking and cannot be used again. Assuming that only 5 percent of 1L of water is discarded daily, it will increase by 18L within a year and 109,500,000,000L of water will be thrown away every year at the end.  Crystal clear, image courtesy Choi jinyoung  Crystal clear, image courtesy Choi jinyoung If we convert water into the air, there will be no more water thrown away and people will be able to live more healthily. Humidity is as important as water to human. So I’m going to suggest a water purifier to maintain a pleasant humidity using water thrown away. It is designed based on water and tree making oxygen and makes people think the nature importantly and appreciate it. Using water thrown away, adjust the humidity of an user space to the most proper temperature.  Crystal clear, image courtesy Choi jinyoung How to use?

Oobiq Architects Blends Italian Philosophy with Tangy Collection Store Attitude is everything . Italian interior design is actually all about an attitude of showing culture and depth. Since its foundation Oobiq architects has been making every endeavour to create works by blending Italian philosophy with that of Asia. Now another design project by Oobiq Architects has just been created following this philosophy.  Tangy Collection Store, image courtesy Oobiq Architects Tangy Collection Store in Tianjin has been open for a few days. Play of design is a new interpretation of artistic creativity. Designers followed artistic instinct and presented a combination of the past and the present, making it a place where the urgent rhythms of modern city life mix with the tranquillity of primitive life.  Tangy Collection Store, image courtesy Oobiq Architects The wooden display stages, simple, modern and unique, show up to advantage with the ribbon hanging. In addition, the netlike partition created with the special type of silk cultivated in Tangy's factory, together with the endless ribbon made again of silk, look unique. They are form the present, but they stir the imagination, stimulate the senses and remind of something from the primitive society.  Tangy Collection Store, image courtesy Oobiq Architects A poetic approach to interior design allows your imagination to spin off on tangent. Elegance is in the Italian blood. The designers blended this feature with the spirit of oriental cultureminimalism, low profile and hand-made human touch. The simple structure and lines, which are inspired by Zen, respond to the sensitivity of people in China. It cultivated a modest, practical but also intimate style.
