Xudong Zhu MAUD ’22 Won 2024 MUSE Design Award for the Anji Youth Pulse Center
Xudong Zhu MAUD ’22, Co-founder and Lead Designer of T.E.N , has received the Platinum Award in the 2024 MUSE Design Awards for the Anji Youth Pulse Center. This groundbreaking project, developed by HPJY Natural Fairyland, is the world’s first youth-oriented commercial complex in a rural context, emphasizing outdoor sports, leisure, and education.
The MUSE Design Awards, established by the International Awards Associate, honor excellence and originality in global design. The Anji Youth Pulse Center exemplifies T.E.N’s commitment to sustainable innovation, designed with contributions from Harvard GSD alumni Mengchu Chen MLA ’23, MLAUD ’23, Lianliu Guo MLA ’22, Hua Zheng MLAUD ’22, Jiabin Wei MDE ’24, and Haoran Zheng MAUD ’21. The project transforms a former factory site into a vibrant hub featuring multifunctional corridors, a central atrium, and an innovative outdoor loop harmonizing indoor and outdoor experiences with the surrounding natural landscape.
Set to begin construction in late 2024, the project aims to become a landmark destination, revitalizing the rural community with dynamic spaces that inspire creativity and connect architecture with nature.
