Profile
OPEN Architecture is an international team of architects and designers, with collaborators across different disciplines to practice urbanism, architecture, interior and the production of strategies in the context of new challenges of our time.
OPEN believes that research and collaboration is the foundation for design and creation. In recent years, OPEN’s researches have focused on social and environmental problems associated with the unprecedented speed of urban development in developing countries especially China. While immersing in the ample opportunities along with great difficulties, OPEN strives to create architecture and urban spaces that establish a new relation with nature and people. OPEN has built up expertise on sustainability and collaborative working relationship with leading engineers and institutions in the field.
OPEN was founded by Li Hu and Huang Wenjing in New York City. It established the Beijing office in 2006. Some of the built or ongoing projects by OPEN include: Columbia University GSAPP’s Studio-X Beijing, Gehua Youth and Cultural Center, Beijing No.4 High School Fangshan Campus, Flexible and Reusable Pavilion Prototype, Staff’s Dormitory of Fuzhou NetDragon Company, Ocean Center of Tsinghua University Graduate School, Pingshan Performing Arts Center and Shanghai West Bund Oil Tank Art Center.
