amass workroom / amass

韩爽 — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Eight years after its founding, amass undertook a renovation of its own workspace. The project was not driven by a need for expansion, but by a reconsideration of how the studio works: when a space must continuously adapt to new projects, materials, and modes of collaboration, are the fixed and irreversible elements of conventional fit-outs still necessary?

Edenland Pedestrian Bridge in Luxelakes / unarchitecte

Andreas Luco — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Edenland Pedestrian Bridge connects LuxeIsland and Edenland in Luxelakes, aimed to enhance the connection between the community clusters, parks and green spaces, and commercial areas of the space. While the order of nature, as Le Corbusier perceives, lies in the geometry it contains; Paul Cézanne captured nature through the sphere, cone and cylinder (Paul Cézanne said "Everything in nature is formed upon the sphere, cone and cylinder"). Here the newly constructed Edenland Pedestrian Bridge differentiated itself from other winding pedestrian bridges in Luxelakes with an aesthetic value, simple and tranquil, expressing a Platonic idea through pure geometric forms. Therefore, the architect chose the triangular pyramid (a tetrahedron composed of triangles) as the architectural motif pattern for the bridge.

韩爽 - HAN Shuang — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Design Approach: Generating a Strategic Prototype - The renovation of the library at Chengdu Shude Experimental Middle School faces the typical challenges of updating an old school building. Located on the ground floor of a building constructed in the 1970s–80s, the structure has undergone multiple renovations and ownership changes, leaving its original design unrecorded. Within this orthogonal grid space, the school requires not only reading functions but also multi-purpose uses including meetings, flexible teaching, teacher preparation, and exhibitions.

Spring Patio / amass

韩爽 - HAN Shuang — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Located within the renovated commercial complex Temple Lane in Chengdu, Spring Patio is a Yunnan restaurant and bar designed by amass. The project explores how new spatial elements can grow lightly beneath the preserved structural framework of an existing building. The design strategy focuses on retaining and revealing the original structure. Exposed brick, concrete and structural elements remain visible, while the interior intervention is conceived as a light layer—almost like a sketch drawn over the existing architecture. Contemporary functions are inserted with restraint, and readily available industrial materials are widely used to establish a dialogue between new and existing elements.

Located in Danjingshan Town, Pengzhou, Sichuan, the Jianjiang Small Train Linear Park is a comprehensive tourism route centered on railway stations, organically connecting dining, exhibitions, arts, and heritage revitalization. Its predecessor, the Peng-Bai Railway, was a narrow-gauge line opened in 1961. Although operations ceased in 2004, it remains an irreplaceable emotional bond for the people of Pengzhou. In 2024, driven by the "Operations-Led" philosophy, Jiulong Xinchuang and UN-GROUP launched a revival plan. They proposed the concept of "Time Fold · Rebirth on Tracks," linking over ten project nodes via 3.5 kilometers of rail, with full completion expected by 2026.

The Lemaire boutique in Chengdu Taikoo Li is located in the bustling Taikoo Li district.

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 07:00:00 +0000

The Anren Tourist Center, located on the edge of Anren Ancient Town in southwestern Chengdu, is a renovation and expansion project of the Liao Wei Mansion. Originally a private residence, the Liao Wei Mansion later served as a brewery and farmer's dwelling before falling into disuse. Designated as a Chengdu historical building and protected heritage site in 2018, it has now been transformed into Anren Ancient Town's visitor center and community center. As the historical DNA of this area, the visitor center serves as the genesis of newly constructed neighborhoods, forming a new cluster of Linpan spatial communities. This project stands as a research sample of China's new town development.

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The project is nestled within expansive woodlands in Chongzhou, Sichuan Province. This secluded retreat is disconnected from urban contexts, accessible solely through a single forest path. The architects have conceived the complex through an abstract settlement approach, where three distinct architectural scales - monumental pitched roofs, mid-scale geometric volumes, and clusters of compact functional units - are unified through an implicit structural logic.

Situated along the Jinjiang River adjacent to the east gate of Sichuan University's historic campus, the museum responds to the campus' southwest-deflected historical axis. Its design follows the campus grid system, seamlessly blending into the campus fabric while honoring the site's cultural heritage.
