100Architects and FAU create alliance for Professional internships in Shanghai, China
 
Shanghai January 26, 2021
 
We are very happy and proud to have signed an agreement with the (FAU) Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the Universidad of Chile to offer paid professional internships to fresh graduates in our Shanghai studio.
 
This agreement will allow the realization of internships for the graduate students of the architecture career in an architecture office of great prestige at international level and located in one of the most important cities in the world. Marcial Jesús is an architect from the FAU (Faculty of Architecture and Urban design) of the Universidad de Chile and was one of the promoters of this agreement.
 

“I believe that this collaboration can be very meaningful for students, exposing them to challenges, contemporary design and construction problems occurring in one of the megacities of the Asian giant. Additionally, entering to the international work environment can be very important and a tremendous way to launch the professional career for young architects”
“Shanghai is a fascinating city; it is cosmopolitan and at the same time rooted in ancient traditions; a city of contrasts. So just the experience of living and working in Shanghai for the 6 months will be totally unforgettable”.

On the other hand, Daniel Opazo, Academic Director and International Relations of the FAU, stated that:
 

“This agreement represents a series of positive trends that we hope to deepen in the near future. On the one hand, to continue on the path of opening new international opportunities for professional internships for our students, since experiences of this type will undoubtedly make a difference in their future work. On the other, increase our ties with Asia and thus expand the international positioning of the Faculty”.

From the current challenges of the FAU and the University of Chile, Professor Daniel Opazo highlighted the importance
 

“of creating ever stronger ties of collaboration with our graduates, who have a very important role in the relationship between university and society. In this sense, I express our gratitude to Marcial for the opportunity to receive architecture students at 100Architects and I hope that we can carry out similar initiatives in the short term”.

Crystal Pool in Topscape N41 from Italy

Progettato in occasione dell'inaugurazione del nuovo complesso ad uso misto Crystal Plaza, prende avvio dal medesimo principio formatore: il cristallo come forma e come somma di superfici. Qui il concetto assume un doppio significato trasformandosi in gocce d'acqua "cristallina" che, dalla scalinata che connette il livello stradalea quello della terrazza pubblica dell'edificio commerciale, scendono a cascata creando differenti sedute ombreggiate, che vanno a infrangersi nella piscina virtuale a livello zero...

Octopus Kingdom is a new example of eye-catching urban playscape designed by 100architects on the rooftop of Gateaway One, a newly built shopping mall in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China. It is a hyper-stimulating urban toy for Nanshan District and for all the visitors of the mall, a colorful intervention that acts as an urban attractor, calling the attention by standing out from its urban surrounding environment. The playscape resembles a small village of sand castles on the seaside, and a gigantic Octopus emerging from the sea and approaching curiously the shore of this paradisiac beach, mesmerized by those colorful sand castles. The 7-meters-high Octopus head, arises as the main IP play object visible from all the surrounding buildings, while its 8 wavy & meandering tentacles are playful courses of challenging activities and obstacles at the ground level, helping children to develop their physical abilities and cognitive skills while learning through play. The 9 colorful sand castles on the beach create a “Play Route” which children can travel crossing from castle to castle, discovering new play opportunities in each of them. The colorful floor, solved with EPDM to absorb impacts while playing, renders a beach, by using different shades of yellow to represent the sand, and different shades of blue to represent the sea. Besides the main Octopus and the sand castles, the playscape is equipped with several sitting features, like the amphitheater for gathering, or stools & tables under a group of marine canopies for adults to rest while kids have fun. The decorative lighting strategy seeking to achieve an impressive night effect, highlights the most recognizable profiles of the project, that is all the edges of the Octopus head, the edges of the sand castles and the edges of the amphitheater. Sparkling dots of light are embedded into the floor for a magical environmental effect, while custom-made algae-shaped lamps are implemented in the perimeter for a holistic and immersive marine experience.

The Nest is another example of eye-catching and hyper-stimulating design done by 100architects to improve and beautify the urban public realm, in this case in the city of Chengdu, the capital of the Chinese province of Sichuan. The project belongs to a particular typology of urban public interventions intending to be “urban toys for the city”. Following the studio’s belief that “Play is not only for kids”, 100architects have designed this urban playscape to boost joy and entertainment for kids and adults alike, regardless of their age. A colorful playscape that acts as an urban attractor, calling the attention by standing out from its urban surrounding environment. The narrative of the design of this multifunctional playscape, and hence its name The Nest, is driven and inspired by the idea of a colorful birth, a magical moment of birth of two little chicks in their nest, being accompanied by their mother bird, who is trying to provide them with their first meal. The three birds, as main IP objects, emerge in the center as vertical play structures which can be habitable by kids, climbing up & sliding down, finding in each of them different play opportunities. Surrounding the main birds, the project evolves with a pattern based on circles, which act as platforms for leisure and social interaction and in which a wide range of other functions are implemented in order to enhance the multifunctionality of the playscape. Those surrounding circles provide kids for instance with a sunken sandpit, swings or a trampoline; youngsters with a round ping-pong table and a fitness core; and adults & elders with features such as a Chinese chess table, elderly exercising equipment, and even different sitting components under eggshell-shaped canopies for shadowing. As a way of sewing all the circular components together, a meandering running track is used around them, turning the playscape into a multifunctional circuit of events to be enjoyed by kids & adults alike. To complete this urban intervention in a holistic way, the surrounding landscape is also solved with circular shapes of greenery, bushes, flowers and trees, enclosing the playscape in a safe way for kids to play freely. The colorful floor, solved with EPDM to absorb impacts while playing, renders a wide range of patterns, graphics and interactive games which connect the different spaces and activities of the space. The night effect of the project enhances the meandering shapes of all the eggshells through decorative lighting with flex LED strips on the edges. This includes the eggshells from which the little chicks are arise, and the ones serving as shadowing canopies. For functional lighting, lampposts were designed with smaller eggshell-shaped lamps on top.
