Calwer Passage
Introduction
Nestled in the heart of Stuttgart's city center, the Calwer Passage introduces lush greenery into the cityscape while preserving heritage-listed building sections. The greening of façades and rooftops establishes a high-quality urban space with a natural, healthy climate, providing an architectural answer to the climate change challenges.

Hong Museum
Hong Museum is an experimental art institution dedicated to combining sociological thinking and contemporary art. The museum is located in Zhi-Xin Plaza, designed by John Portman, at the city center of Wenzhou. The Plaza, where the Westin Hotel sits atop, features Portman's classical internal soaring atrium with strong verticality. The design of the Hong Museum unfolds horizontally within an entire floor at lower level, transforming the mundane, standard typical floor, usually for office use, into a uniquely characterized art space. The design aims to create a status with porosity among the accurately and economically planned commercial urban interior space and allowing art and sociology topics to enter the public sphere.
