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.

Curved modular timber and metal pavilion with a tensile canopy walkway by Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects.

A community pavilion precedent featuring curved timber-ribbed vaults and a lightweight tensile canopy walkway, ideal for parks and public spaces.

What we like about this project
Curved structural timber ribs seamlessly integrate with flat metal facade panels and half-round roof shingles.

Geometry
Curved barrel-vaulted modular volumes paired with a sweeping tensile membrane walkway cover.
Facade system
Metal panel cladding with curved laminated timber arch framing large glazed openings.
Structural guess
Laminated timber arches with secondary steel framing and membrane canopy cables.
Spatial scale
Single-story pavilion at human walking scale, roughly 3-4 meters in height.
Lighting
Diffused overcast daylight with soft reflections across metal panels and membrane canopy.
Atmosphere
Welcoming, open, and light-filled public pavilion integrated with landscape.
Environmental context
Park or community green space alongside a paved jogging path and mature trees.
Spatial experience
The path moves from open parkland under a rhythmic fabric canopy toward a glazed barrel-vault entrance.
Composition rhythm
Rhythmic vertical steel columns supporting the curved walkway canopy echoing the curved ribs of the pavilion.
