atelier feichang jianzhu (FCJZ): receives first prize for the 'shenzen media group' building in shenzen, china

positioned within a cultural development near the gulf in shenzhen, china, the spheroidal shell of this building evokes the image of a water droplet.

recently completed and now open to the public in ordos, china, this center has become a fixture within the community providing spaces for residents to congregate and lounge while maintaining their cultural traditions.

a facade clad with locally sourced sticks creates a screen for the fully glazed interior, producing an evenly diffused natural daylight to brightly illuminate the reading spaces.

the '4 tower in 1' office tower complex by steven holl architects will be located in the developing business district of shenzen, china.

international architectural firm coop himmelb(l)au have received first prize to design the new 'headquarter of china insurance group' in shenzen, china.

on a recent trip to beijing, designboom visited the architectural office of yung ho chang which includes a garden to store materials and build full scale mockups of buildings with experimental construction methods.

this residence's structure is comprised solely of fiber reinforced polymer members, a material which is stronger than steel, while reintroducing methods of construction found in china's traditional architecture.
