The Floating Church / Denizen Works ➨  Function : Church ➨  Location:  London, England ➨  Area:  45 m2 Hello sad people Don't lose your hope.  Today's project is a little different, It doesn't have a site but a mission, It's a boat that aims to connect community centers along the canal, every 5 years the boat will change its site and will sail in front of one of the 5 community centers that take place along the canal. The boat interior was designed in a way to adopt different events such as a church, art classes, and live music events. Most of the interior's details and cladding materials were inspired by the sail's stitching.  References:  Archdaily Enable Ginger Cannot connect to Ginger Check your internet connection or reload the browser Disable in this text field Edit Edit in Ginger Edit in Ginger × Enable Ginger Cannot connect to Ginger Check your internet connection or reload the browser Disable in this text field Rephrase Rephrase curre...

Mumbai Artist Retreat / Architecture BRIO ➨  Function : Artist retreat ➨  Location:  Mumbai, India ➨  Area:  150 m2 Hello Yasmin, Thanks for your suggestion. Today's project was recommended by a friend. She said "It's just the place that I want to be at right now", After searching and reading about the project I agreed with her. Well, In fact, the project's main idea was to create a getaway for artists to come together and produce art away from the Metropole of Mumbai.  Although the site was in a rural area, It still creates a relationship with the skyline of the Metropole. The site was divided into 3 zones that contain temporary structures. To respond to the environment of the site many principles were applied, like the artificial pond and the lifting of the building. The interior of the space was flexible because of the movable panel. References:  Archdaily Enable Ginger Cannot connect to Ginger Check your internet connection or reload the browser ...

Wantouqiao Township Center -1 / WCY Regional Studio ➨  Function : Community center ➨  Location:  Wugang, China ➨  Area:  5531 m2 Hello sun lovers, Hope you got your Vitamin D In the last few days, I've been preparing an Instagram story that talks about community centers, I want to talk about the history of their appearance, their values, and which functions they contain. I do believe in the community center's important role in improving the lives of local residents. There should be urban codes that obligate governments to build community centers in every neighborhood.  Coincidentally, today's project is a community center that was built in a rural town in Hunan province in China. During my research on community centers,  I came to the conclusion that community centers gain their shape and function according to the social value of the local community. It's a translation of this community's definition of unity. While for some communities being toget...
