Changi Terminal 2

Changi Terminal 2 is an airport interior covering 120000 square meters across three levels in Singapore. The existing terminal building was completely redesigned to focus on the traveler experience and on connections to natural elements. The interior is arranged as a journey across an indoor landscape of minerals, water features and vegetation in varied forms and densities. Artisanal materials made by small craft workshops are used throughout. Technology is largely concealed to keep natural elements visible and to provide a calm environment.

Shenzhen Art Museum

Shenzhen Art Museum is a cultural complex that joins an art museum and a library in a dense urban district. The two buildings are shaped like a pair of hands that enclose a shared central space. Public platforms on several levels sit between the two volumes and are sheltered by a large cantilevered roof built as a truss steel structure. A double layer curtain wall system shapes the indoor light and reduces the cooling load. Prefabricated construction was used. The complex offers a calm setting for exhibitions and cultural exchange.

Sheerin Pavilion

The Sheerin Pavilion for 2023 Guangzhou Design Week provides an exhibition space for sintered stones. Artificial stones are employed to simulate the natural ones, aiming to present a spatial ambiance of a mined artificial stone canyon. This simulation and representation create a captivating juxtaposition. The systematic design of space, scene, and structure not only presents the unity of form and force, and the connection between behavior and space, but also provides the possibility of recyclability of the exhibition venue. It is a exploration of sustainable exhibition construction.
