Jin Mian Xin Cheng is a mixed-use development adjacent to Beijing’s Fourth Ring Road. It consists of two office towers and a retail podium, with a protected public plaza to their rear.Image courtesy of ShuHe

The massing of the blocks was predicated and constrained by the sunlight requirements of a residential development to the north. Therefore, SPARK’s work focused on the detailed design of the façade and landscape. The design references a textile market that formerly operated on the site.

“Pleats” of perforated aluminium sheeting and a “weave” of rippling windows resolve practical issues (such as baffling traffic noise), while also sculpting new habitable zones at the building’s edge and creating opportunities for ventilation. The project won a “Best Office and Business Development” accolade at the MIPIM Asia Awards 2013.

Objects of Desire: Surrealism and…

Design | October 23, 2019

Surrealism was one of the most influential art movements of the twentieth century. Everyday objects played a central role in its dreamlike imagery: they were alienated, ironized, or combined to create curious hybrids. This led to the creation of numerous key works of modern art, from Marcel Duchamp's »Bicycle Wheel« (1913) to Salvador Dalí's »Lobster Telephone« (1936). In reverse, Surrealism also exerced a decisive influence on the evolution of design. On 28 September 2019 the Vitra Design Museum will open a major exhibition that offers a comprehensive look at the dialogue between Surrealism and design. Read more
