Sompo Museum of Art building, designed by TAISEI DESIGN Planners Architects & Engineers, is a relocation project of the former Seiji Togo Museum in Shinjuku City, Japan. The museum was originally opened in 1976 on the 42nd floor of the Sompo Japan Head Office Building, which was designed by Shozo Uchida.

The art museum’s unique sculptural appearance was designed to be memorable. Inspired by Seiji Togo’s works, the exterior features graceful curves of the female figure. The museum’s wide opening with a gently curved glass wall connects the interior to the cityscape through the front garden.

🪩Slow Lens by French artist Vincent Leroy is a kinetic installation composed of approximately sixty rotating magnifying lenses. First presented in 2019 in front of the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the structure forms a transparent, moving curtain that distorts the surrounding architecture through continuous optical shifts. The lenses create repetitive, fluid deformations of the museum’s facade, altering visual perception and introducing a dynamic interaction between viewer, object, and environment.

Following its presentation in Paris, the installation was exhibited above the canals of Venice, Italy. Positioned over water, the piece engages with its surroundings through reflection and refraction, generating a layered, fragmented visual field. At night, urban lights pass through the lenses, producing diffraction patterns that separate the installation from its physical context.

🍄At Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Carbon Garden Pavilion by Mizzi Studio explores architecture as an extension of ecological systems rather than an isolated object. Conceived as the focal point of the Carbon Garden, the pavilion adopts a mushroom-like form in which a central timber structure branches outward to support a translucent flax-fiber canopy.

The project is grounded in material and structural logic. A larvikite stone foundation without concrete, larch glued-laminated timber, natural fibers, and recycled polycarbonate are assembled to minimize embodied carbon while expressing their inherent properties. Rainwater is collected through a central funnel integrated into the canopy, transforming the roof into an active environmental device that feeds the surrounding landscape.

Aligned with solar movement and embedded within the garden, the pavilion frames light, shadow, and time as part of the architectural experience. More than a shelter, it functions as an educational space, demonstrating how low-carbon materials, regenerative thinking, and structural clarity can converge into a built system that mirrors natural processes.

Panzhou International Hotel, designed by Shing & Partners, stands out as a distinctive high-rise building in Guangdong, China. The landmark structure attracts attention immediately with its transparent facade, exaggerated curves, and large entrance gate.

To create such a large and complex curvy facade, the design team used technology empowerment. They used parameterized design tools to provide easier application of the curtain wall in multiple units. The main entrance consists of two surfaces, and the unique curves in different scales create a seamless integration. The overhanging canopy of the entrance reaches nearly 10 meters and creates a unique visual experience on eye level, too.

🎬Montage Hannam, designed by stpmj, is a four-story film studio and headquarters in Seoul’s Hannam district. Unlike conventional buildings planned around human scale, its design is shaped by the perspective of a camera. Circulation, spatial composition, and lighting contrast create cinematic moments, while exaggerated ceiling heights, oversized windows, and layered spaces enhance its function as both a workspace and a dynamic filming set. A floating concave volume at the corner casts shifting shadows, adding depth and visual drama, while the ground floor connects the interior to a sunken rear garden.

Beyond its role as a studio, Montage Hannam integrates office spaces, rental areas, a café, and parking. The design transforms everyday spaces into a backdrop for cinematic experiences, where geometric elements and changing perspectives reinforce its identity as both a production set and a daily workspace. Blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion, the building offers a unique spatial narrative shaped by scale and movement.
