🏟️ Xinchang Globular Center | Zhejiang, China
A striking sports complex with a massive flowing roof that doubles as a public rooftop park — featuring a running track, football pitch, and viewing platform open to everyone throughout the day!
The 120,000 sqm complex below contains:
• A 5,000-seat arena
• Training halls
• Commercial spaces
• A 19-story athletes’ hotel
All beautifully integrated into one dynamic structure.
The perforated aluminium facade, inspired by surrounding mountains and flowing water, creates beautiful shifting light patterns throughout the day.
Already hosted the China Badminton Masters and National Table Tennis Championships — proving itself as both a world-class competition venue and a lively public destination. 🔥

🏛️ The Invisible Weight of Being an Architect
Since it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s time we talk about the elephant in the studio.
People see the final renders, the beautiful buildings, the creativity, the titles, the late nights in studios and offices. But very few people truly understand what architecture can do to a person mentally.
Architecture is not just a job you leave at the office. It follows you home. It stays in your head during family dinners, during conversations with friends, even when you are trying to rest. Your body may leave the studio, but your mind often doesn’t.
Many architects silently struggle with burnout, anxiety, loneliness, isolation, toxic work environments, unrealistic deadlines, and constant self-doubt. We are taught to normalize exhaustion. To romanticize sleepless nights and overworking. To believe that sacrificing our health and personal lives is simply “part of the profession.”
And slowly, life outside work begins to disappear.
You stop replying to messages.
You cancel plans.
You isolate yourself without realizing it.
You tell yourself you’ll rest after the next deadline.
Then another deadline comes.
At some point, you begin questioning yourself:
“Am I even good enough for this profession?”
But the truth is, struggling does not make you weak. It makes you human.
It is okay to pause.
It is okay to step away from the screen.
It is okay to choose sleep, family, friends, exercise, peace, and your mental health.
And it is okay to work on yourself before work.
A healthy architect creates better spaces, better ideas, and ultimately a better life.
We need to normalize conversations about mental health in architecture — not as a weakness, but as something necessary. Check on your friends in the profession. Support each other. Rest when you need to. Set boundaries when you must.
Because before being architects, we are human beings first.
