TheY Architects

Shanghai, China

TheY Architects is an international young design team full of vigor and creativity, currently chaired by Yao Yuan and Liu Yuze. The outside world is unknown. We believe that the most attractive state of design is to create unknown possibilities in the known environment, and stimulate the imagination and business of each space. By responding to the unknown possibility of the site, jumping out of the already known design of the site, creating an unexpected space-time experience in the situation. At the same time, the Institute always examines contemporary and future architectural issues from an open perspective, not only paying attention to enhancing architectural cores such as capabilities, types, materials, structures, and experiences; The expansion of "indulging in the building, not just outside the building". The firm's projects cover a variety of types and heights, including cultural buildings, office buildings, commercial buildings, educational buildings, public spaces, urban renewal, residential councils, councils, art design, etc. There are currently many cultural tourism, urban renewal, and interior projects that are being designed and promoted. The firm has won honors such as the 2022 AD100 Young Most Influential Architecture and Interior Design Elite and the 2021 Youfang Young Architectural Design Firm.
