Wall-Like Stage

Qing Wang, Architect

Shanghai, Scale 1:500

 

Location: Next to Su Zhou Creek in the ‘Li Long Housing’ neighborhood.

 

Topic: Identity and Integration

 

The building is half on the river and half on the land. The man-made concrete structure is the foundation and platform for the performances and life of the inhabitants. Here we celebrate that concrete is not only concrete anymore. It is part of life. We kiss it, we dance with it and finally we live with it. The design will use several forms to create a space of ambiguity. The structure is not just a structure in sense of ideology. It is the interaction with performance and life.
