刘宇扬建筑事务所 Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects

Based in Shanghai and Hangzhou, Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects articulates studio workspaces and commercial office towers through exposed structural armatures, layered roofscapes, and precise material contrasts between historic forms and contemporary timber or steel insertions. The portfolio offers strong references for detailing expressed mechanical riggings, integrating timber canopy structures with metal facades, or animating podium rooflines with angled louvers and active tracks.

Geometry
An extensive multi-wing educational complex steps across a terraced site, integrating a central historic stone structure with new white massing and a large horizontal louver facade.
Facade system
Horizontal perforated sun-shading louvers over curtain wall glazing alongside punched window systems on white solid wings.
Structural guess
Concrete frame with steel-framed sun-shading secondary structures.
Spatial scale
Large multi-story educational institution scaled down around a central historic precinct and human-scaled courtyards.
Lighting
Diffused overcast daylight providing soft shadows and even illumination across the landscape and architectural volumes.
Atmosphere
Calm, civic atmosphere balancing historic preservation with active modern learning environments.
Environmental context
Urban edge campus setting adjacent to a roadway with a parked school bus and pedestrian paths.
Spatial experience
A landscaped courtyard surrounds an ancient freestanding stone tower, serving as a historic focal point contrasted by modern educational wings and sweeping circulation paths.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal louvers create a steady banded rhythm across the main facade, juxtaposed against the irregular texture of the stone tower.
Style reading
Contemporary institutional architecture combining historic preservation with high-performance shading
