Designed by OPEN Architecture, the Cube of Change: Meitu Cube Visual Arts Center sits between the ocean and mountains on Xiamen’s East Rim coastal area. Conceived as a simple yet adaptable cube, its dynamic façades can open and close, enable natural ventilation, shield sunlight, and glow at dusk. Inside, flexible spaces can host exhibitions, screenings, performances, and public events. The open circulation weaves galleries, terraces, and platforms into a continuous and immersive journey, inviting visitors to become part of the space. 

Designed by OPEN Architecture, Shede Culture Museum is located in the East Garden of Shede distillery in Shehong, Sichuan, and was topped out in January 2026. On the misty shore of River Fu, where mountains meander, three island-like architectural volumes emerge from a vast circular pond. The three architectural volumes—the Bronze Box, the Earth Box, and the Glass Box—are crafted with materials associated with the art of spirit-making, paying deep homage to the dynamic relationship between architecture, local ecology, craftsmanship, and tradition.

OPEN’s founding partners, LI Hu and HUANG Wenjing, were invited to deliver three lectures across both the East and West Coasts of the United States in March and April 2026 by the College of Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley; the American Institute of Architects San Francisco; and the Weitzman School of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania.
