DEJI PLAZA is a shopping mall in Nanjing, with the second-highest sales among single-building shopping malls in China. It consists of two buildings, Phase 1 and Phase 2, with a total area of 41,244㎡.More than 90% of the world’s luxury brands make up its tenants.

The request by DEJI PLAZA is for the entire building to integrate commerce and culture by having facilities such as an art museum, art gallery, stores, and a bookstore on the 7300m² top floor.

The goal of this project was to build a microarchitecture in the atrium of the main engineering building. Limited by fire codes, it was hard to achieve the idea of a forward-thinking building due to the traditional structure limitations; therefore, the designer separated the main walls and the ceiling to eliminate the sense of pressure. The method drew sunlight into the space, while the natural lightings have created shadows and changes with the arc-shaped structure. Furthermore, 10-cm round pipes are used to join the ceiling and the overall design; complicated circuits are hidden within the lines to embody the concept of integration.

This is a global project initiated in Japan in 2014, promoting the ideation of the giant Gundam, and we solicited technological ideas on robotics, lighting, scenarios from around the world.

The robot design is made true to the original while securing the function. Gundam's aesthetic architecture incorporates the cityscape of Yokohama and provides spectacular, detailed movement.

Dharma Drum Mountain Hong Kong - TST Branch is located in the city centre of Hong Kong for the concepts and methods to calm and settle one’s body and mind to experience and practice Chan. By using the touch and power of primary materials, such as different kinds of solid wood and stone, to lead one’s body and mind to be calmed and settled. The design is also inspirated by the traditional Chinese landscape design elements - enframed view and borrowed view, the symbolic portals and window frames in the entire interior are created in order to expand one’s sight and imagination in a limited space. Thus, the entire interior spaces and exterior city landscape are interconnected artistically, which greatly increases the poetic of the Chinese Buddhism journey.

The exhibition area holds only the national treasure, the“Jin Ling Map,” a ten-meter-wide handscroll depicting the life pattern of the Song dynasty in China. However, as young people are not interested in historical works, simply exhibiting them limits the number of people who come to see them.

The museum will exhibit the work here, magnify its scale by ten times and bring it to life using an LED surface utilizing the latest digital technology. Furthermore, interactive equipment allows the audience to enter the Jin Ling map as a scroll character and enjoy mini-games by using a UME device that measures people's location information.Lanterns were hung all over the ceiling, and programming was introduced for candle fluctuations to create an immersive exhibition room.
