Building Review (Photo: Pu Miao) The Sichang-Road Teahouse, Kunshan, China - Kunshan is a town in the Yangtze River Delta near Shanghai. Many of the old canals in the city are converted into six-lane streets. For local residents it is difficult to find an atmospheric spot which reflects the former close relationship between nature and the urban environment in the historic downtown. The teahouse discussed here is located in a new high-density residential area in a western suburb of the old city of Kunshan. It was built on a linear 40 to 50-metre wide river park that accompanies the street. Opposite the street, the urban structure with stores and markets on the ground floor is the counterpart to the public park.   more New Profiles   Architects SPEECH Tchoban/Kuznetsov, Moscow Architects Matharoo Associates, Ahmedabad   Architects propeller z, Architektur, Wien Architects divece arquitectos, Guadalajara   Architects Oppenheim Architecture + Design, Muttenz Architects Spasm Design Architects, Mumbai   Agenda 24 to 26 May, Clerkenwell, London Clerkenwell Design Week more   25 May, Universität Liechtenstein, Vaduz Walter Angonese, Lecture more   26 May, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York Designing the Whitney of the Future, Exhibition Opening more   26 to 28 May, Wien Tschechische Architekturtage 2011 more   26 to 28 May, Place Bonaventure, Montréal SIDIM 2011: Interior Design Show Montreal, Fair more   until 3 June, Extension Gallery, Chicago Changing Room: Installation by Easton+Combs more   until 3 July, Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Frankfurt am Main Richard Neutra in Europe: Buildings and Projects 1960–1970, Exhibition more   more Lectures, Exhibitions, Events Updated Profiles   Architects Shogo Aratani Architect & Associates, Hyogo Architects BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, Copenhagen   Architects W2 Architects, Nanjing Architects Studio mk27, São Paulo   Lighting Designers LUNALICHT, Karlsruhe Architects RESERVOIR A, Charleroi   Jobs Experienced Allround Architects UNStudio, Amsterdam more   Urban Design Leader McGregor Coxall, Sydney more   Senior Project Manager for Hospitality and Residential Interiors Craig Nealy International Ltd., New York more   Senior Quantity Surveyor Spacial Solutions International GmbH, Kigali (Rwanda) more   Architect/ Designer for PR Area dellekamp arquitectos, México D.F. more   Marketing Manager RFR Shanghai, Shanghai more   Taiwanese Intermediate Architects spatial practice, Beijing more   ProjektleiterIn caruso st. john architects, London more   ArchitektIn Hochschule Luzern - Technik & Architektur, Luzern more   Architekt/in Südtirol/Italien gesucht pedevilla architekten, Bruneck more   more Jobs Architecture by Numbers Number of panels of clear prismatic glass and welded aluminum screens that were ordered in China to disguise the 185-foot-tall fortified concrete base of 1 World Trade Center (formerly Freedom Tower) in New York City so it does not look like a gigantic bunker: 2000 By René Ammann For any kind of feedback, please contact the editor in charge: Sarah Mai.
