SPECTRUM
Spectrum is a series of 2 indoor interventions in the main atriums of the commercial space from a new mixed-use complex located in the New Bund.SPECTRUM
The project was done with the aim of fostering entertainment & social interactions among new visitors, appealing to kids, youngsters & adults alike.SPECTRUM
The base of the project is a multi-functional platform that provides simple and colorful volumes that can be used for playing and resting for kids and adults alike.SPECTRUM
The project is inspired by the physical phenomenon of the spectrum of colors derived from a light ray when intercepting a crystal, in which the light ray gets split into a range of different colors.SPECTRUM
A colorful and rather sculptural installation designed to beautify the main indoor social spots of the commercial space.SPECTRUM
From the skylights of both atriums, a group of colorful light rays represented by colorful nylon strings invade the voids.SPECTRUM
The nylon strings are tensed creating rainbows of colors that cross the 25 meters of void from top to bottom until reaching the floor, where they create colorful plazas.SPECTRUM
The colorful plazas at the bottom consist on a group of circular platforms of activity, shaped by the light rays, intersecting each other to compose a unitary space under the strings.SPECTRUM
Seating features and playful domes arise from those circular platforms, providing the functionality of the installation.SPECTRUM
The result is a stimulating space for interacting with others, resting, playing and whiling away for some time.SPECTRUM
Visible from all floors, the colorful strings are an eye-catching element that triggers the curiosity of visitors to approach the atrium and look into the void to discover the what is happening.SPECTRUM
It consists in 3 circles of activities intercepting each other in the main atrium of the shopping center.© 100architects

SHIPYARD PLAZA
This project was developed in the context of Shanghai Urban Space Art Season 2019 international competition aiming to artistically regenerate the Yangpu Waterfront and industrial heritages along the Huangpu River.SHIPYARD PLAZA
A ship under construction process to bring back the old memories of the industrial splendor on the banks of the Huangpu River by creating a public space that resembles a shipyard but with some design extravaganza.SHIPYARD PLAZA
Since the site used to be a welding platform for shipbuilding, 100 Architects came up with the idea of creating an eye-catching and stimulating public space which would serve 2 specific purposes:SHIPYARD PLAZA
First: Providing a modern public platform to activate the scarcely used space by encouraging social dynamics and interactions.SHIPYARD PLAZA
Second: bringing back the old memories of the industrial and social splendor on the banks of the Huangpu River.SHIPYARD PLAZA
To honor the memory and identity of this particular space, we decided to propose the design reminiscing a ship under construction process while respecting the marvelous bronze grid on the floor.SHIPYARD PLAZA
The ship is manifested through a system of Corten steel ribs arising from the bronze stripes.SHIPYARD PLAZA
It mimics the shape of an unfinished vessel which contains a variety of public space features, such as seating, gathering, resting, lounging or playing areas, all of them laid out from the bow to the stern.SHIPYARD PLAZA

KIDS 3rd HOME
Kids 3rd Home is an interior renovation designed to beautify a scarcely used space within the iconic “Super Brand Mall” of Lujiazui in Pudong (Shanghai), oriented to foster entertainment & social interactions among kids and families in the 2nd floor of the Mall.KIDS 3rd HOME
Super Brand Mall is one of the most iconic and well-known commercial spaces in Shanghai and China, with almost 20 years of existence, and it’s in a process of renovation to keep up to date.KIDS 3rd HOME
100 Architects was commissioned with the mission of intervening a wide and large circulation area of 1,800 m2 in between tenants oriented to kids & families,KIDS 3rd HOME
The entire proposal derives from the position of the 9 columns that invade the big space, which become 9 epicenters of different colors and activities.KIDS 3rd HOME
Born from those 9 columns, a colorful painted scape on the floor was designed by stripes of colors and shapes, organizing the rest of the empty space, defining circulation areas, resting spaces, playing areas and spaces for pop-up stores.KIDS 3rd HOME
The injection of basic vivid colors, patterns and shapes allowed us to visually enhance the space, making it more appealing to visitors and customers, deviating more pedestrian circulation towards the given area.KIDS 3rd HOME
The 9 columns are retro-illuminated enhancing their presence as landmark elements within the space.KIDS 3rd HOME
The ceiling, which is treated as an exposed ceiling, is also retro-illuminated only over the columns, featuring special illuminated spaces together with the columns.KIDS 3rd HOME
The rest of the exposed ceiling features a system of custom-made light boxes with basic fun shapes related to the design language from the rest of the space.KIDS 3rd HOME
A simple yet effective beautification exercise crowned with huge habitable letters forming the word KIDS on both ends of the circulation space.KIDS 3rd HOME
The huge letters act as eye-catching attractors since they are visible from far and different floors, becoming entrance landmarks to the new space.KIDS 3rd HOME

PIXELAND
PIXELAND is a public space project comprising a combination of different outdoor facilities in a single space, such as landscape features, playscape features for kids and leisure features for adults.PIXELAND
Transferring this idea to the spatial organization strategy of the project, we thought of creating a multifunctional public space by the addition and combination of smaller independent functional pixels.PIXELAND
The project is inspired by the digital concept of pixels. While a pixel is the smallest independent sample of an image with its own RGB or CMYK color information, it is the combination of numerous pixels what results in any given digital image.PIXELAND
While each of the pixels has its own function and characteristics and could be read as an independent entity, the combination of all of them results in a very eye-catching and playful general multifunctional public space.PIXELAND
The main pixel used in the core of the project is a perfect square of 5 x 5 m., as the minimum space to host functions suitable for a group of people,PIXELAND
while as we get closer to the borders, smaller pixels of 2,5 x 2,5 m. and 1,25 x 1,25 m. are introduced as a modular approach to solve the accesses, the pedestrian circulation and the landscape in the border.PIXELAND
Every pixel is a component with a different function on it. Thus, the functional pixels are positioned in different combinations in order to generate a hyper-stimulating hardscape of leisure activities.PIXELAND
the plaza is also equipped with lounge resting areas, picnic areas with seats & tables, seating box structures to provide shadow, sunken communal benches, sloped lawns to lay down and small amphitheaters for gatherings.PIXELAND
Besides the leisure features, Pixeland also counts with a wide range of playful features scattered around, culminated with a voxelated Horse-themed playground in the middle of the plaza, for the joy and entertainment of the younger visitors.PIXELAND
The checkered plaza has been developed in a multilevel way, providing an interesting artificial topography growing in height towards the center, where the voxelated horse is strategically placed on the top.PIXELAND
