Melting snow: The Snow Apartment in Zhangjiakou/RC by penda.

摘要

Now is the time for new approaches and ideas. Technological quantum leaps only lead to truly great evolutionary milestones when the innovator is able to free him/herself completely from traditional structures and mindsets and break new ground that initially does not seem possible. New ideas for light in architecture can therefore never be simply considered a trend, but rather a breakthrough to new cultural dimensions. Chris Precht and Dayong Sun from Penda describe the route they have taken as follows: "We are Penda. We are passionate about architecture & design. We are driven by creativity, innovation & tradition. We are young & hungry & forward thinking with a design approach, which is always based on issues of the content & the context. We are motivated to develop innovative & ecological & elegant solutions to social & functional & formal questions. We are keen to design projects with digital tools, artistic approach & (hand) crafted realization. We are a multicultural design collective based in Vienna & Beijing. We are penda".
