The second of the “Spiral Gallery” buildings designed by Atelier Deshaus (we featured the adjacent gallery last week). From the architects, this is the description of Spiral Gallery II:
“Using a spiral is to give the different ways of “open” and “close” between the ground floor and upper floor: the ground floor is back towards the courtyard and slightly lower than the ground, while the upper floor faces outward to the open landscape. And the interior staircases on the both sides of the spiral accomplish the system of the circle of spaces, which also provide the complete experience of a constantly commutative cruise between the “open” and “close”. The alternate space of the different floors strengthens the different ways to view in a visual form. Here, the way to view is exactly the way to use the building.” (Archdaily)

“This gallery is adjacent to the central greenland of Jiading new town. The green land has pleasant scenery, and has existed from the beginning of the design. For this reason, the “spiral” type we choose is not only a way to organize the exhibition space; it is also a way to see the view.” (Archdaily)

Shanghai Houtan Park / Turenscape
Built on a brownfield of a former industrial site, Houtan Park is a regenerative living landscape on Shanghai’s Huangpu riverfront. The park’s constructed wetland, ecological flood control, reclaimed industrial structures and materials, and urban agriculture are integral components of an overall restorative design strategy to treat polluted river water and recover the degraded waterfront in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Kokaistudios developed a detailed renovation plan and works ranged from repairing the impressive roofs and rediscovering the facade original materials to structural reinforcements and the installation of modern air conditioning and fire protection systems as well as thermal and noise insulation.
To underline the new life of the house a huge art and craft metal panel has been added in front of the service block. The pattern is inspired at the same time by the villa’s original decorations and by the Miele heritage, in fact it recalls the shape of the cream separator’s wheels, the company’s first product.

Dressing buildings
EXH Design was hired to redesign the façades of high-rises in one of the most active urban areas in Shanghai. With the plans of the buildings already halfway through government approval, EXH was allowed little leeway in trying to change the existing plans. Instead, EXH turned their attention to “sculpting” the building’s surface. Taking a geometrical approach, the new façade aims to create a dynamic effect that will become a strong architectural expression for the surrounding areas. (Archdaily)
