  • Idea Exchange | Reading Session - Lob des Schattens

    2017-10-20

    The reading session this month was held by designer Li Jianxin, who shared with us the theory of spatial aesthetics refined by Japanese author Tanizaki Junichiro, which was extended to the realm of the difference of western and eastern aesthetics as well as future architecture development. “Aesthetics, do not exist in being, but shadow of being”. In the book, the author clarifies that in Japanese culture, aesthetics of architecture are created in a delicate and subtle way, which differs from the baldness and straightforwardness of western architecture.

     

    After the introduction of the era in which the author lived in by Mr. Huang, the splash set by the intruding western culture in the tranquil Japanese culture became more tangible and comprehensible. Last but not the least, Dr. Jung and Mr. Bian both stated that as architects, we should shoulder the responsibility of passing on the oriental culture and aesthetic spirit.

  • Program | PLaT Architects’ project winning the bid of CBD urban planning in the Jinghe new district in Xi’an

    2013-06-03

    Congratulations on Huachengboyuan Architecture and PLaT Architects’ cooperative project winning the bid of CBD urban planning in the Jinghe new district in Xi’an.


    Jinghe new district is a national urban development plan to the north of Xixian new area. CBD is 2.8 km2, being the focus of the new district design. There were many design institutes from Suzhou, Zhuangzhou, Singapore and Xi’an itself participated in the bidding. Multiple teams in PLaT worked together on the project in one and a half months, and we won the bidding in jury on May 15th.


    We think that CBD is not only a collection of high density buildings, but also need to realistically consider the emergence of the city, the stage of development, optimal land management, etc. The very center of CBD ought to be public landscape with water for people to relax and have entertainment, instead of buildings. The design of inner ring makes high efficiency of traffic possible, and creates well circulation connections for people to move in between the buildings. Designing for people and bringing people together make CBD energetic.


  • Lecture | Juzheng Huang

    2013-04-26

    The chief editor of “Architect” magazine Juzheng Huang brought us a lecture with a topic of “the distance between modern architecture and classicism” this afternoon. He discussed Alvar Aalto, Mies Van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Giuseppe Terragni and their connection with classicism. Following the lecture, he shared his unique perspective towards architecture in China in Q&A, and discussed with architects here.


  • Reading seminar | Radiant City

    2013-04-23

    Continuing last week’s topic Radiant City by Le Corbusier, we discussed his ideal city intensely. Mr. Maeda brought up different ideas. He thought that Radiant City is not what Corbusier wanted to build in reality, but he was to criticize the materiality through the unrealistic ideas in the society. The purpose is to awake people of the generation, especially architects and planners. Corbusier was examining the society with his foresight, and writing out his belief with passion and creative blue prints.


    After two months of reading and analyzing Le Corbusier, young architects here now have basic ideas about his time and works. We learned from each other by communicating opinions through the two seminars. Also, our reading methodologies have been improved after the recent three seminars as well, which is the goal of PLaT readings seminars.


  • Reading seminar | Corbusier’s city and architecture 1: “Towards New Architecture”

    2013-04-16

    Last seminar of “Delirious New York” was highly rated by colleagues, and architects were enthusiastic about the series. Therefore we aimed our discussion to another architect--Le Corbusier, and we focused on two of his books for the topic of Corbusier’s city and architecture this week: Towards New Architecture and Radiant City.


    Architect Huang Qingsong hosted this reading seminar and briefly introduced the background, main ideas and influences of Towards New Architecture. In the discussion, architects brought out different opinions about the specifics in the book and its impact on modern architecture. We reached to a conclusion that in order to be an architect who is sensitive to the environmental change, one should be able to challenge the existing tradition while holding on the responsibility to the current society.


  • Lecture | Working Experience in an Architecture Firm

    2013-04-14

He is currently a professor in Hanyang University.


    Prof. Zo Jinman presented the working environment, process and methodology in the architecture firm in Netherland, and discussed with us. While architects were impressed about the amount of workload on a project, Prof. Zo stated that perfect state of work is not the compiling of time, but the everyday experience contributing to projects bidding and design.


    Architects applauded warmly in the end of the lecture to thank Prof. Zo for the deep and thoughtful lecture.

  • PLaT Reading Group | Delirious New York

    2013-01-08

Later on, we analyzed specific chapters to understand the architectural language of Koolhaas and the books influence to his later works.


    Many questions were brought out as well, such as strangely written words. We communicated on those difficult chapters, and shared our own ideas, which was tremendously helpful to understanding the book. Also, there were many suggestion and hopes to the reading group and its future.

    In the past month, PLaT has witnessed a most active interaction between the five Japanese students and the PLaT staff. The Japanese students participated in the ongoing projects of PLaT under the supervision of Dr. Jung and Mr. Maeda. Meanwhile, they successfully completed the research project of “Beijing Impression” by thoroughly observing, experiencing and documenting the traditional Chinese Residence of Hutong. The students have returned to Japan after the internship.
