Dongguan Zhongshuge Library

Dongguan Zhongshuge Library is a bookstore interior located within a science and technology industrial park. The space spans three floors, with the main reading area rising from the first to the third floor. Gear elements form the central design language and serve as both decoration and bookshelves. A corridor on the second floor links a children's reading area, a forum area and a cultural and creative space with a coffee area. The children's area is inspired by a neutron source facility. Wood is used across nearly all elements to soften the industrial character.

MRC Vison

Marche Vison is a food market built in Taki town, Mie prefecture, Japan. The complex is divided into four wings set under large curved roofs. Stepped slabs are linked by slopes, and the pitch of the wooden frames is aligned to form one continuous space. Smaller volumes stand beneath the roofs, creating a walking area of alleys and plazas. The open-air space under the roofs keeps visitors in contact with the seasons and reduces energy use. Rain falls from the eaves as a curtain, and local wooden louvres face the expressway.

Geely Galaxy E8

Geely Galaxy E8 is a pure electric flagship sedan built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture. The exterior recalls the form of a tiger ready to run, with headlights that suggest an intense gaze. A one piece luminous front face is formed by more than ten thousand holes of 0.2 mm, made with micro hole laser engraving technology, which gives an even light distribution. Twenty five aerodynamic improvements bring the drag coefficient to 0.199. The smart cockpit holds a 45 inch 8K screen and ripple patterns drawn from Chinese cultural landscapes.

Exeed Es

Exeed Es is an electric vehicle designed for comfortable driving and riding. The exterior takes inspiration from the motion of wind, with a wide front face, a low chassis and a streamlined waistline. Such forms help achieve a drag coefficient of 0.205 and acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 3.7 seconds. The interior lines resemble flowing water. Ambience lights with 256 colours run along both sides and across the centre console, and can change with music. Materials include bio based polycarbonate, crystal panels and natural linen fibre seat backs.

Rt9000

RT9000 is a massage chair designed for use by all age groups. Multifunctional scissor doors, inspired by supercars, raise the armrests so users can enter and leave the seat easily and so the arms can be stretched. A dynamic split pressure relief system moves the legs and feet while the arms are extended, simulating postures such as a spacewalk. Sixty-four sets of airbags support blood circulation, and three rows of rollers in the base massage the feet. The chair identifies body parts from body curves and adjusts the massage intensity automatically.

Octyma

Octyma is a brake caliper developed for high performance cars. Octyma has eight pistons arranged in a cross layout. The cross layout optimizes pad pressure distribution and improves braking performance. The caliper is made of high quality cast aluminum, and an optimized casting process supports durability. Taut lines give the caliper a sporty character, and careful detailing creates an elegant result. Four colors are available: yellow, red, carbon bronze and black. The colors bring out the shape and define the character of the caliper.
