Scenic Architecture Office was founded in Shanghai in 2004. We always start with needs from body & mind, nature, and society, and try to establish a balanced and dynamic relevance among them through ontological orders composed by space-time and tectonics. In recent practice we concentrate on exploring potentiality of settlement space in present life, to seek a new identity for contemporary architecture between Chinese tradition and our future.
