Architizer A+Award-winning lantern “Ring of Celestial Bliss,” is scheduled to attend the awards ceremony in New York City Thursday.
Pan’s architectural and planning firm, JJ Pan and Partners, designed the environmentally friendly lantern for the 2013 Taiwan Lantern Festival that took place in Hsinchu.
