Wings of Still Air
Poised between monument and landscape, this ethereal structure rises within Shanghai’s Lu Xun Park—a quiet choreography of steel, air, and light. Its wing-like roof, supported by slender I-beams no thicker than a man’s arm, spans an astonishing forty-two metres, creating a column-free hall that feels both weightless and immense. Beneath this soaring canopy, architecture dissolves into atmosphere: low eaves guide rainwater into a reflective pool, while perforated double layers along the roof draw wind through subtle openings, forming a self-sustaining microclimate of soft breeze and shifting light. Every tactile gesture reveals an intimacy of scale—the curve of a handrail inviting touch, the warmth of beige plaster that feels like skin, the precision of joints expressed rather than concealed. In its seamless balance between monumental structure and human touch, the space breathes with the quiet rhythm of the city itself—an architecture of stillness, of air made visible.
