ARCHIS DESIGN STUDIO

ARCHIS is a multi-disciplinary and research-led architecture studio working at the intersection of architecture, urban design, art, and science. Since 2018, ARCHIS has been developing innovative approaches that support the increasing dynamism and complexity of contemporary buildings and cities. Our studio utilizes bottom-up and non-linear design research methods that embrace contradictions and complexities in the built environment. Working across a broad design spectrum, the studio’s work range from large-scale urban planning and architecture to public art and exhibitions design, all with a focus on human experience and perception. In constantly pushing the boundaries of existing temporal and spatial relationships, our studio aims to produce solutions that are not formally preconceived, but rather emergent from and tailored to the particular contextual adjacencies and contingent interrelationships of each project. Headquartered in Boston and with office branches in Hangzhou and Shanghai, we are a team of experienced researchers from Harvard and MIT and professionals from diverse international backgrounds. To ensure a high standard of design excellence in each project, the studio actively collaborates with prestigious academic institutions and professional consultants at every stage of design. At the core of the practice is our research lab, which continually explores new techniques in computational modelling, digital fabrication, data analysis, Ai-driven design methodologies, and material intelligence, with the aim of redefining the relationships between design and construction and prompting new understandings of building intelligence.
