事務所簡介
經過數十年的大建設潮，中國正走進一個“豐裕時代”。物資短缺與極度貧困成為個別現象。經濟的多元化與信息流動讓人遵循自身意愿選擇生活方式的渴望以史無前例的規模成為現實。作為社會物理載體，人居空間在如此的歷史進程中以肉眼可見的速度變得更多層次和更多樣化。一方面，人們渴望能夠介入空間制造，而非被動接受預制的“設計產品”。再沒有可以被反復套用的公式，或者無往不利的標準。另一方面，大地之上不再有任憑想象的白紙：每一寸土地都已被定義。建筑由其所處的文脈決定而非反之。建筑作為被觀賞“偶像”的時代結束了，它必須重新回到作為連接人與環境“協調者”的角色之上。它將復雜的問題凝結為簡單的物理形態，并打開通向更廣闊可能性的大門。建筑不是靜止的終點，而是不斷發展中的過程。
也似建筑設計事務所是一所于2018年在北京成立的空間設計機構。北京建筑師學會理事單位。團隊以專業和宏觀的思考廣度挖掘人居與當下中國現實的相互關系。通過深入研究每一個項目所處的環境，我們剝開表象，切入獨屬于該項目的核心矛盾群落，并將之由“不利因素”轉化為“想象力的催化劑”，進而通往充滿驚喜的解決方案。事務所成立以來與眾多專業的合作伙伴攜手致力于為當代人居環境設計的創新。事務所的項目不受功能類型的桎梏、與所在地域的限制，且涵蓋多種尺度。
Firm Profile
After decades of massive construction waves, China is entering an "age of abundance." Material shortages and extreme poverty have become isolated phenomena. Economic diversification and information flow have enabled the desire for self-determined lifestyles to materialize on an unprecedented scale. As the physical embodiment of society, human habitats have visibly gained more layers and diversity throughout this historical process. On one hand, people now aspire to participate in space creation rather than passively accept prefabricated "design products." There are no longer universally applicable formulas or infallible standards. On the other, there remains no blank canvas for unrestricted imagination: every inch of land has already been defined. Architecture is now shaped by its context rather than dictating it. The era of architecture as a worshiped "idol" has ended; it must return to its role as a "mediator" connecting people with their environment. It condenses complex issues into simple physical forms while opening doors to broader possibilities. Architecture is not a static endpoint but an ever-evolving process.
YES Arch, founded in Beijing in 2018, is a spatial design practice exploring the relationship between human habitats and contemporary Chinese reality through professional and macro-level thinking. Director Unit of Beijing Institute of Architects.By thoroughly investigating each project's unique environment, we peel back superficial layers to identify its core cluster of contradictions, transforming "constraints" into "catalysts of imagination" that lead to surprising solutions. Since its establishment, the studio has collaborated with specialized partners to innovate contemporary habitat design. Our projects transcend functional typologies and geographical limitations, spanning diverse scales.
