彬蔚致正建筑工作室

Based in Shanghai, 彬蔚致正建筑工作室 crafts low-slung public service stations and cultural spaces defined by rhythmic timber arcades, deep roof overhangs that mirror natural canopies, and expressive volumetric hinges. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing light-filtering timber doors, integrating cantilevered structural forms into multi-story atriums, or designing small-scale park shelters set against dense urban backgrounds.

Exterior facade of Tongji University CAUP Building C featuring metal panels, glass curtain wall, and a glazed stair tower by Atelier Z+.

同济大学建筑与城市规划学院C楼-0rt

上海

An institutional facade precedent combining metallic panels, a central glass atrium, and a prominent glazed stair tower for academic architecture.

What we like about this project
Large lettering integrated vertically into the structural framing of the glazed stair tower.

Geometry
Asymmetrical multi-bay assembly comprising a metallic panelized block with scattered rectangular windows, a central glazed atrium grid, and a slender vertical circulation tower on the right.
Facade system
Combination of metal rainscreen panels with punched windows and a structural glass curtain wall system.
Structural guess
Steel frame with concrete floor slabs and lateral bracing visible in the glazed stair tower.
Spatial scale
Large institutional building roughly six stories high, framed by tall trees and utility poles.
Lighting
Clear daylight with direct sun catching the metallic panels and casting sharp reflections across the glass curtain wall.
Atmosphere
Bright, rational, and transparent, emphasizing academic activity through visible circulation and large glass volumes.
Environmental context
Urban institutional campus setting, fronted by a brick boundary wall and mature evergreen trees.
Spatial experience
The composition presents a layered institutional frontage that shifts from solid metallic massing to transparent curtain wall and an exposed vertical circulation core.
Composition rhythm
Asymmetrical rhythm juxtaposing a dense, scattered window grid against a clean vertical structural glass module.
Style reading
Contemporary Chinese institutional architecture with high-tech tectonic articulation
