Career
2015-2019
The first major achievement was the European Bay public rental housing designed by Pan Chengshou in Wenzhou in 2019. It connects 12 residential neighborhoods through spreading clouds and is completed in 2024. The design pays great attention to daylight, privacy and vision. All apartments can see the surrounding diagonal landscape. The buildings are no longer isolated, but enclosed or semi-enclosed courtyard spaces. The corridors are bright and the comfortable space scale makes people feel a sense of belonging and intimacy. In 2020, this building won the first batch of pilot models of future communities in China.
2020-2023
POA Architects (POA) was established in 2020. As an independent company, by 2024, POA had won numerous architectural competitions and international awards.
POA designed the complex project Gold International Plaza in 2021 and completed it in November 2024. It designed a headquarters park integrating offices, apartments and convention centers. The building uses a green roof. "The client believes that the green roof is an integral part of the building. This not only provides the environmental benefits of the green roof we are familiar with, but also increases the visual effect of the roof terrace."
Their third medical project, "Tengjiao Central Health Center", was designed and constructed in 2022. The theme of the entire building is people-oriented and patient-centered, with a compact layout, scientific processes, and avoidance of cross-infection. The building is expected to be completed in 2027.
In 2022, POA won the design competition for the China Longgang Digital Agriculture Cooperative. The construction of China's first digital agriculture innovation project with a construction area of 10,191.65 square meters began in 2022, representing the beginning of the road to rural revitalization. Expected to be completed in 2025
2024 to present: International perspective
Pan Chengshou designed a Phoenix Green Valley Comprehensive Bonded Zone project for Yiwu in 2024. Covering an area of 718,500 square meters, this is a project that can provide logistics, processing, maintenance, trade and other bonded services to the world. The project fully meets the needs of the community and promotes regional development. The roof uses solar photovoltaic panels and is designed as an entire ecosystem, which is an important foundation for future sustainable urban development.
The Wuqian Sports Park designed by POA started construction in Cangnan, China in 2024. The project has made great contributions to promoting local mass sports. The construction area is about 35,000 square meters. The project is mainly centered on the citizens' desire to build a unique land art park, breaking the traditional independent spatial relationship between gymnasiums and parks.
Design Concept
Pan Chengshou said: "For us, it is more important to spread our ideas. Architecture ultimately achieves the goal of harmonious coexistence between heaven, earth and man. This is the long-term consensus of Chinese architectural theory from the past to the future. The most important tradition of Chinese architecture is the perception and creativity based on the idea of "harmony between man and nature", which is also an important factor in the continuous development of our national culture. The vitality of Chinese architecture is not the pursuit of formal innovation, but the creation of the future.
