Wuhan Pier Culture Center Wins Platinum at MUSE Design Awards
The Wuhan Pier Culture Center has been recognized as a Platinum Winner in the Architectural Design category at the MUSE Design Awards 2025.
Located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Wuhan’s historic docklands, the project establishes a new civic landmark rooted in the city’s riverine heritage. Its architectural language draws upon the duality of Yin and Yang — intertwining forms that bridge opposites: land and water, movement and stillness, tradition and innovation.
Programmed with a cultural gallery, community forum, and accessible riverfront terraces, the design creates an inclusive civic platform that extends public life onto the waterfront. A sweeping sculptural roof, conceived as a calligraphic stroke across the skyline, defines the center as both symbolic gesture and urban infrastructure.Sustainable strategies — including passive ventilation, rainwater harvesting, and porous landscape integration — reinforce the project’s commitment to ecological resilience and cultural continuity.
This international recognition affirms the project’s ambition to position Wuhan as a river city of dialogue, pluralism, and future-oriented civic identity.
(Grow Towards Sunlight) Documentary Presented at London Design Festival
The early-stage documentary of GROW TOWARDS SUNLIGHT will be presented at the Blackdot Gallery as part of the London Design Festival 2025.
Conceived as an adaptive domestic refuge, the project explores how spatial design can respond to emotional dynamics within the household. Drawing on the metaphor of the sunflower, the work investigates notions of conflict and reconciliation through adjustable structures, sensorial interfaces, and material experimentation.The documentary traces the development of the project, from conceptual sketches and prototypes to interactive tests, offering insight into the design process as a form of narrative construction.
By foregrounding research and experimentation, the film positions the work as an inquiry into the future of responsive living environments.
Venue: Blackdot Gallery, London
