crossboundaries architects is a young, Berlin and Beijing based team of international architects aimed at linking the professional and design experience of trained architects and consultants to the challenging possibilities of the prospering Chinese economy as well as to millennia of Chinese cultural heritage and the lively, multifaceted Chinese culture. Our goal is to develop high-quality solutions, derived from Chinese culture and architectural needs, based on western know-how and experience.
While continuing to be active in the area of architectural design in China, crossboundaries architects have begun to vigorously explore and participate in culture-exchanging research, programs and art exhibitions, in order to enrich its practice. As the name indicates, crossboundaries architects stay in an elaborated contemporary definition of architectural practice with a broad view that looks beyond.
