Alignment to Air

As for the creative letter animation, Jin started with the alphabet "A".

Along the way, he came up with the conflicting words thoroughly standing for his idea in some way such as align to air which is the title of this project. With that in mind, the animation presents more precise and delicate moments on the first word. On the other hand, this ends up with a rather flexible and loose vibe to manifest the last letter.

Solar Skywalks

World's metropolises - like Beijing - have a large number of footbridges traversing busy traffic arteries. They are often unattractive, downgrading the overall urban impression. Designers' idea of cladding the footbridges with aesthetic, power generating PV modules and transforming them into attractive city spots is not only sustainable but creates a sculptural diversity that becomes an eye-catcher in the cityscape. E-car or E-bike charging stations under the footbridges utilize the solar energy directly on site.

At its centre is a 35 metre high atrium named Opera Theatre, where 1,800 programmable spotlights are set into the ceiling to suggest a galaxy of stars. A sculpture above the escalator recalls the buttress roots of local banyan trees. Surfaces are clad in handcrafted bronze and rustic paintwork. Rainwater is harvested for irrigation, and a seawater cooled, oil free air conditioning system reduces energy use.

An abstract fan shape defines the lobby background and the hallway, which admits natural light. The restaurant ceiling is formed in stainless steel and the walls use green-gray bricks. Materials include marble, glass, wood veneer and hand painted murals.
