Description
Vector Architects, founded by Gong Dong in 2008, has prioritised the relationship of built work to its site, from seasides or mountains to the heart of the city, while investigating both natural and artificial landmarks for clues on how best to address the requirements of each programme. And while the office is no stranger to bold gestures, a recent work such as the Jingyang Camphor Court seems to retreat from view, knitting itself into the urban fabric until structure and surroundings become inseparable. The issue also features Xiangshan Library, Changjiang Art Museum, Shanghai Maritime Pavilion, and more, plus essays by Gong Dong, David Leatherbarrow, and Michele Bonino.
