On Friday, August 22, 2025 at 6:30 PM, sinokultur invites you to our Salon "water, tea house, impermanence in architecture" with Swiss-Chinese architect Mulan Sun.
Water, dwelling, and spiritual spaces have been the main themes of Mulan Sun’s research and practice in recent years. In this talk, she will present her residential and teahouse projects, as well as the historical and theoretical research that underpins them. Through this, she seeks to answer the question: How can we create intangible/infinite spirituality through tangible/finite architecture?
Mulan Sun was born and raised in China. In 2005, she came to Switzerland to pursue a Master’s degree in Architecture at ETH Zurich. Since 2015, she has been the founder and partner of SML Architektur GmbH. Mulan has taught at ETH Zurich, Tianjin University, and, since 2020, at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. She is also a tea master, founding member of the ETH Circle, and president of the Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Architects and Artists (SCAA).
After the talk and Q&A we will enjoy a tasty Apéro together and exchange our ideas and impressions.
The talk will be held in English.
Location: sinokultur, Klosbachstrasse 109, 8032 Zürich
