CATALOGUE: Rational Form Making. PangArchitect @pangarchitect This catalogue offers an in-depth look at Angela Pang’s architectural philosophy, working methods, and research process, illustrated through nine architectural designs, built projects and exhibition designs from Hong Kong. It also showcases how her approach to “Rational Form Making” results in visually compelling, sustainable, and material-efficient structures across a range of spatial contexts. Featuring text contributions by Barry Bergdoll (Professor of Architectural History, Columbia University), John Ochsendorf (Professor, Department of Architecture, MIT), Angela Pang (PangArchitect and Assistant Professor, Harvard GSD), Kristin Feireiss (Aedes), and Julia Schlütsmeier-Hage (Aedes), this catalogue accompanies the exhibition „Rational Form Making“ at Aedes, on view until 14 May 2025. - Publisher: Aedes - Graphic design: PangArchitect - Format: 176 x 182 mm, 64 pages - Language: English Order online now (link in bio)!

EXHIBITION: Rational Form Making. PangArchitect @pangarchitect , Hong Kong/Boston In Rational Form Making, architect and researcher Angela Pang presents a striking 1:2.5 scale prototype of a 3D-printed pavilion—comprised of 1,500 identical hexagons, exploring gravity as a design force, among other key projects. On view now at Aedes. SPEAKING - Julia Schlütsmeier-Hage, Aedes, Berlin - Angela Pang, PangArchitect, Hong Kong/Boston EXHIBITION 29.03.2025–14.05.2025 Entrance is free.

„New Library Extension“, designed for Hong Kong Polytechnic University, redefines learning spaces through lightness and flexibility. Hovering above the original concrete Metabolist structure, this steel-and-glass addition introduces a striking contrast in materiality and form. Its curved terrace sets the tone for an organic interior, challenging the rigid order of the existing library. Inspired by Prospect Park and Bürolandschaft, the extension unfolds like a forest—fluid canopies and shade structures shape an open-plan environment that offers a variety of study zones. Modular pavilions support diverse learning styles, from quiet solitude to collaboration. Key elements, such as the 20-meter-long suspended table or the floating riser, reflect a spatial choreography that promotes student agency. By inviting users to configure their own spaces, the library becomes more than a place to study—it becomes a landscape of learning. The project is part of the exhibition „Rational Form Making“, curated by PangArchitect @pangarchitect . EXHIBITION 29 March – 14 May 2025 As always, free entrance.

„Rational Form Making“ now on view at Aedes How can we build more with less? The exhibition "Rational Form Making" by PangArchitect @pangarchitect , led by Angela Pang, explores the balance between creative freedom, logic and material efficiency in architecture. At its core is a striking 3D-printed pavilion, showcasing how natural forces like gravity can shape innovative forms. The exhibition also features key projects such as the "New Library Extension" of Polytechnic University in Hong Kong and the "Hong Kong Literature Archive & Research Center", highlighting the studio's commitment to rational design methodologies.​ EXHIBITION 29 March – 14 May 2025 As always, free entrance.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us last Friday for the opening of ”Rational Form Making“ at Aedes. The exhibition explores the research-driven work of architect Angela Pang @pangarchitect , showcasing her "Rational Form Making" approach that balances aesthetics, logic, and ecological responsibility. Featuring a striking 3D-printed pavilion and key projects like the "New Library Extension" of Polytechnic University in Hong Kong, the exhibition highlights Pang’s innovative use of experimentation, digital methods and material efficiency in contemporary architecture. We are especially grateful to Angela Pang (PangArchitect) and Regine Leibinger (BarkowLeibinger @barkowleibinger ) for their insightful opening remarks. A warm thank you to @ouwerkerkfoto for capturing the highlights, @reframevideos for the video documentation, and barcafeaedes for the Italian drinks that set the tone for the evening.

Founded in 2010 by Angela Pang, PangArchitect is an architectural practice based in Hong Kong and Boston. The practice develops functional and original design solutions, focusing on the unique qualities of each architectural problem. The studio's two guiding principles are a consideration of the local context and fulfilling the functional requirements of the program. Each project and design results from a methodical inquiry and investigation that questions conventional standards in searches for innovations and alternatives. The dialogue between research and built form balances intellectual questioning and pragmatic solutions. EXHIBITION Rational Form Making. PangArchitect, Hong Kong/Boston 29.03.–14.05.2025 As always, free entrance.

[archive] THE LEARNING GARDEN The long, sinuous table weaves together different parts of the large space, bringing students together while at the same time, through its curves, defining a series of zones. This ambiguity between public and private, openness and enclosure allows for different types of activities and configurations of use. Subtle variations in the height, width, and shape of the Learning Path provide a datum line for students to discover new ways of learning and developing ideas.
