People Tree House / Archiopteryx

Ashvattha: ‘the Sacred Fig’, derived from the Sanskrit terms ‘shva’ (tomorrow) and ‘stha’ (that which remains). NOIDA is a planned satellite city of Delhi, and part of the National Capital region of India. The city is organized as a series of rectilinear tree-lined transportation grids: encompassing sectors, that are further divided into blocks of plots. The ‘People tree house’ is a 7000 sqft building, built on one such plot, and is surrounded by neighboring buildings on three sides. The clients: medical entrepreneurs and their children, lovingly chose and named the plot ‘Ashvattha’ based on the fortuitously located ‘fig tree’ to the eastern corner of the site.

Heyuan Museum of Popular Science Education for K-12s / Architectural Design and Research Institute, South China University of Technology

At present, future education and future primary and secondary schools have become hot topics in the field of education and architecture. A number of phased achievements have been produced. The new teaching results make new requirements for the teaching space. Taking the typical STEAM education as an example, the new teaching features are mainly interdisciplinary, collaborative, interesting, experiential, and situational. These characteristics require the teaching space to be open, flexible, diverse, and situational, so as to meet the needs of teaching. TheHeyuan Museum of Popular Science Education for K-12s is an experimental case of the team in this field.

Gorami House / DRAWING WORKS

A housing area that was built on land where generations have been around for 50 years was newly fixed. It is a village in Jecheon, Chungcheongbuk-do that is now called ‘Goam-dong’ and the former name of the area was Gorami (Goremi) Village. A married couple is the building owner and they had been residing at an apartment in Bundang, Seongnam, and were used to city life because they engaged in active social activities. Then, the male owner had to take care of his elderly mother so they moved to Jecheon 5 years ago to plant beans and omija fruits on land that is over 2,500 pyeong in size. The female owner is running a daycare center and still lives in the apartment, but she comes to the Gorami home on the weekends so they are a weekend couple.
