In two of Shanghai’s busiest commercial districts, Anfu Road and Columbia Circle, stores designed by RoarcRenew Architects attract large crowds.

ATELIER XI has been selected for ArchDaily’s 2023 New Practices and is one of the few firms still rooted in traditional architectural design. Founded in 2017, ATELIER XI began their practice in Shenzhen, one of the fastest-growing and urbanizing cities in China. Their work represents the current state of a generation of architects, with major projects in small-scale urban architecture, exhibition design, interior design, renovation, and rural architecture. While they may not become urban landmarks, they can still influence the lifestyle of the community through small-scale design.

Tianfu Agricultural Expo Garden is located in Xingyi Town, Xinjin, Sichuan. Green Seedling Project is located at the garden’s core, Agricultural Expo Island.

The 1st floor to the 3rd floor will accommodate the space for diversified industries such as agricultural science & technology, breeding research, and cultural exhibitions.

It will be located in GDH City · Jinpi Fang (Kingway Brewery Industrial Heritage). The exhibition opens in December 2022 and will run until March 2023, with over two hundred events to be held during the three-month exhibition period.

How to create an interesting and perceptible space has become the focus of this design.
