事务所简介

       经过数十年的大建设潮，中国正走进一个“丰裕时代”。物资短缺与极度贫困成为个别现象。经济的多元化与信息流动让人遵循自身意愿选择生活方式的渴望以史无前例的规模成为现实。作为社会物理载体，人居空间在如此的历史进程中以肉眼可见的速度变得更多层次和更多样化。一方面，人们渴望能够介入空间制造，而非被动接受预制的“设计产品”。再没有可以被反复套用的公式，或者无往不利的标准。另一方面，大地之上不再有任凭想象的白纸：每一寸土地都已被定义。建筑由其所处的文脉决定而非反之。建筑作为被观赏“偶像”的时代结束了，它必须重新回到作为连接人与环境“协调者”的角色之上。它将复杂的问题凝结为简单的物理形态，并打开通向更广阔可能性的大门。建筑不是静止的终点，而是不断发展中的过程。

       也似建筑设计事务所是一所于2018年在北京成立的空间设计机构。团队以专业和宏观的思考广度挖掘人居与当下中国现实的相互关系。通过深入研究每一个项目所处的环境，我们剥开表象，切入独属于该项目的核心矛盾群落，并将之由“不利因素”转化为“想象力的催化剂”，进而通往充满惊喜的解决方案。事务所成立以来与众多专业的合作伙伴携手致力于为当代人居环境设计的创新。事务所的项目不受功能类型的桎梏、与所在地域的限制，且涵盖多种尺度。

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. 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.
