设计特色：

项目 - 坐落于苏州市历史悠久的姑苏区人民路沿线，苏州公文中心（苏州市公共文化中心）的访客中心由青天制作所设计，是苏州文化遗产的生动体现。公文中心是一座综合性文化设施，涵盖苏州美术馆、苏州市文化馆等多个艺术机构，成为艺术、文化和公众互动的焦点。

设计团队将公文中心设想为一个“社区客厅”，集信息服务、当代艺术展示、休闲空间以及年轻艺术家扶持于一体。通过开放立面和暖色与冷色的材料碰撞，营造出一种既亲切又现代的美学，鼓励观众互动。十一座不同高度和长度的屋顶结构形成和谐的韵律，使建筑呈现出雕塑般的艺术感，与周围的城市景观相得益彰。

内部设计延续至吊顶，融入趣味的“拼图游戏”概念，将梯形模块排列成动态的室内屋顶景观。此模块化设计不仅增添美学魅力，更简化施工过程，缩短工期。同时，室内的模块化展示岛台仿照外部屋顶结构，构成可调节的展览平台。

该项目提升了本地社区的生活质量，为文化活动提供了平台，也成为年轻创作者的独特艺术中心。对于苏州而言，它不仅是一个场所，更是文化的象征，重新定义了公共空间在城市生活中的角色，是苏州历史与现代的见证。

团队 - 青天制作所由包理佳 (Freja Bao)于2023年创立，是一家致力于在历史与当代相关性之间对话的创新建筑工作室。工作室名称意为“青天”，源自古代东方文化对青色的崇尚，彰显了其文化重要性。青天制作所的业务涵盖建筑设计、改造、艺术策展和产品设计，致力于将本地文化遗产与现代建筑美学相结合，丰富公共空间。

包理佳在英国和日本的国际经验，深刻影响了她的设计理念，将文化细节与当代美学桥接。在她的领导下，青天制作所的设计过程始于对传统的深厚尊重，通过细致地探讨历史脉络，创造与当代生活产生共鸣的设计。工作室的项目基于审慎的材料选择与空间和谐，创造出既具功能性又象征深刻的环境。

在苏州公文中心等项目中，青天制作所体现了其社区为本的建筑理念，将公共空间重新定义为引人入胜的艺术地标。工作室对模块化和适应性的重视确保了每个空间能随社区演变而发展，增进包容性和易达性。通过重新诠释建筑形式，青天制作所将人类体验置于核心，增强了公众与其文化和社会结构的联系。

Project: Suzhou Public Culture Centre Visitor Centre

Location: Suzhou, China

Architect: Tsing-Tien Making

Area: 250 m²

Feature：

Project - Nestled along the bustling Renmin Road in Suzhou’s historic Gusu District, the Suzhou Public Culture Centre Visitor Centre, designed by Tsing-Tien Making, stands as a tribute to Suzhou’s vibrant cultural heritage. The Center is a comprehensive facility, housing the Suzhou Art Museum, the Suzhou Cultural Center, and several other art institutions, making it a focal point for art, culture, and public engagement.

The design team envisioned the Civic Center as a “community living room,” combining information services, contemporary art exhibitions, relaxation spaces, and support for emerging artists. By opening up the façade and blending warm and cool materials, the structure fosters a welcoming yet modern aesthetic that invites interaction. Eleven striking roof structures of varying heights and lengths create a harmonious rhythm, giving the building a sculptural presence that both complements and enhances the surrounding urban landscape.

Inside, the design extends to suspended ceilings with an engaging “puzzle game” concept, transforming trapezoidal modular arrangements into a dynamic indoor roofscape. This modular approach simplifies construction and reduces timeframes, embodying both aesthetic appeal and functional innovation. Furthermore, modular display islands within the space mimic the outer roof structure, creating adaptable display platforms for exhibitions.

This project elevates the quality of life for the local community, providing a platform for cultural activities and a unique artistic hub for young creators. For Suzhou, it is not only a venue but a cultural icon, a testament to the city’s heritage and modernity, reimagining the role of public space in civic life.

Design Team - Founded in 2023 by Freja Bao, Tsing-Tien Making is an innovative architectural studio that approaches each project as a dialogue between historical roots and contemporary relevance. The studio’s name, meaning “Cyan Sky,” is derived from a traditional Chinese phrase highlighting the cultural significance of cyan in ancient China. With expertise spanning architectural design, renovation, art curation, and product design, Tsing-Tien Making aims to enrich public spaces by intertwining local cultural heritage with modern architectural sensibilities.

Freja Bao’s international experience in the UK and Japan has deeply influenced her design philosophy, bridging cultural nuances with contemporary aesthetics. Under her leadership, Tsing-Tien Making’s design process begins with a profound respect for tradition, meticulously delving into historical narratives to craft designs that resonate with contemporary life. The studio’s projects are grounded in an architectural language that blends thoughtful material choices with spatial harmony, creating environments that are not only functional but also symbolically potent.

Through projects such as the Suzhou Civic Cultural Center, Tsing-Tien Making manifests its commitment to community-centered architecture, reimagining public spaces as engaging, artistic landmarks. The studio’s focus on modularity and adaptability ensures each space can evolve with its community, fostering inclusivity and accessibility. By reinterpreting architectural forms, Tsing-Tien Making places human experience at the forefront, enhancing the public's connection to the cultural and social fabric of their environment.
