Light Up the Love River Bay

Light Up the Love River Bay is an exterior lighting project for the Love River Bay in Kaohsiung. The project is divided into three sections. Architectural luminaires light the riverbanks over a wide area and change color slowly. Concert lighting on the Kaohsiung Music Center changes color quickly in time with music. Meteor lights form eleven hexagonal installations that recall islands between the seas, covering 3,300 square meters on the water. The cross-harbor light of the Great Tiger Bridge spans 400 meters. Residents can select the riverbank colors through an application.

Cuiwan Zhongcheng

Cuiwan Zhongcheng is a demonstration zone and later community center built in Zhengzhou, China. The building stands at the junction of two plots and opens towards the city. The design applies the concept of the Mobius ring, translating a continuous four dimensional form into an open, multi dimensional space that can also serve as a pedestrian bridge. A steel structure supports external walls of hyperboloid aluminum plates, which are made in a factory and assembled on site. All materials used are low carbon, recyclable and environmentally friendly.
