Extraordinary 360 degrees ART! 
TAIJITU, THE ECO-PARAMETRIC TAI-CHI-CHUAN PALACE, SHENYANG 2024, CHINA, by Vincent Callebaut Architectures
After 1 year of Design & Development, we are happy to unveil our project “Taijitu”, a sustainable palace dedicated to the practice of Tai-Chi-Chuan, new showcase of Chinese Energetic and Martial Arts.
Inspired by the symbol of Yin & Yang, the project is characterized by its biomimetic spiral double-shell architecture built with a post-tensioned cross laminated timber frame. It’s an architecture of lightness with the lowest impact on the planet, the climate, the biodiversity, and our health.
Climate responsive design respecting the path of the sun and the direction of the prevailing winds, the double-spiral geometry is optimized to ensure the best aeraulic thermal currents by natural ascending ventilation thanks to Canadian wells. The design of the solar-controlled glass facades integrating photovoltaic cells, with variable density from east to west, allows an autonomous electricity production.
In the Zen garden, the vortex plan optimizes rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment through phytoremediation lagoons, and landscape management according to the rules of agroecology mixing orchards and wild vegetable gardens cultivated in permaculture.

Fire
What makes a fire burn
is the space between the logs,
a breathing space.
Too much of a good thing,
too many logs
packed in too tight
can douse the flames
almost as surely
as a pail of cold water would.
So building fires
requires attention
to the spaces in between,
as much as to the wood.
When we are able to build
open spaces
in the same way
we have learned
to pile on the logs,
then we can come to see how
it is fuel, and the absence of the fuel
together, that make fire possible.
We only need to lay a log
lightly from time to time.
A fire
grows
simply because the space is there,
with openings
in which the flame
that knows just how it wants to burn
can find its way.

“I am weary, my soul…Now I have gone through events and find you behind all of them…You announced yourself to me in advance in dreams. They burned in my heart and drove me to all the boldest acts of daring and forced me to rise above myself. You let me see truths of which I had no previous inkling.”
- C.G. Jung, The Red Book: Liber Novus, chapter 2
