THIRD PRIZE -
hongqiao int’l exhibition center of urban culture
we are honored to win in the “Integrated Innovation” int’l architecture competition 2025 for the hongqiao int’l exhibition center of urban culture project.
inspired by human “touch” & “convergence”, we sculpted spaces of warmth and connection.
shanghai-style alleys + courtyards create 24/7 public zones with dispersed activity hubs, blending seamlessly with north qianwan’s urban fabric.
floors 2-5: volumes “touch” → finally “converge” at the top. modular galleries allow flexible displays + future adaptability.
this is qianwan’s gift to citizens—a place to feel belonging, community, and human touch.
the lighting boats won the finalist awards
the 2025 shanghai international lighting festival situates all installations along the huangpu river, foregrounding the dialogue between light, water, and urban space.
within the context, atelier chioh’s The Boats was selected for the show. the installation consists of four steel-frame boat structures in which sequentially intensifying light articulates the metaphor of fragile vessels navigating a fluid environment. as a continuation of the studio’s earlier work paper airplane, the project extends an exploration of ephemeral urban interventions.
by adopting a design language of lightness, childlike simplicity, and playful naivety, the work reconsiders the affective and symbolic potential of temporary spatial gestures in contemporary urbanism.
the canopy swing won the finalist awards
we created interactive opportunities within the island’s mountains and forests—where body and nature merge into lyrical humanism.
the architecture—simple yet bold—resembles folded, continuous canopy-like frames. iconic yet harmonious with its surroundings. here, one embraces nature: feeling the swing’s joy and the woodland’s serenity.
