Rooted in the principles of Confucianism and harmony with nature, structures like Gyeongbokgung Palace reflect the Seoul’s ancient past. Fast forward to the 20th century, and modernist influences emerge, through buildings such as Kim Swoo Geun’s Space Group Building completed in 1971, which merges traditional Korean aesthetics with modernist principles.

More recently projects such as Zaha Hadid’s Dongdaemun Design Plaza, the Seoullo 7017 Skygarden by MVRDV as well as the Amorepacific Headquarters by David Chipperfield Architects have provided the blueprint for the city’s contemporary architectural direction, where modern practices emphasize sustainability, smart technology integration and eco-friendly designs. Contemporary architecture firms in Seoul now focus on smart cities and create buildings that not only stand out visually but also address environmental concerns. This evolution makes Seoul a vibrant stage for global architectural discourse, acting as a design fusion that features towering skyscrapers along with historic conservation buildings and futuristic complexes.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Seoul, South Korea based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

Architecture is a series of cooperative work that does not end with one person’s thought. I want to be a small but strong experimental organization, and an office that creates a fun space. I am convinced that the most ordinary thing makes the most extraordinary results rather than the unique design of the display style. We configure the space as honestly and clearly as possible within the given different conditions and value the jointing and touching of each material.

Differentiated and leading designs begin with very ordinary buildings that exist around us and in our cities. In the past, Utah Architecture will continue to contribute to creating buildings in the city with healthy homes and warm spaces with the architect. And internally, the long-term goal is to create soil where junior architects can grow and do good work, beyond the current barren architecture.

© DIOINNO ARCHITECTURE PLLC

Cities need more accessible and reconfigurable construction strategies to foster the culture of dynamic placemaking in the context of ephemeral and transitory programs in our contemporary city. Stick Snap Stack is an alternative construction system to offer such a resilient construction framework. The system utilizes the simplicity of ‘stacking’ inspired by the traditional wood joinery method. Without bonding agents, the system uses a ‘snapping’ induced interlocking system for the unique stacking mechanism.

The geometry of the centerpiece can be fabricated to shift the stacking angle, while modularized three legs of the assembled unit block interlock with other blocks to complete a rhombohedral unit cell acting as a self-supporting structural ‘module.’

Architecture is nothing. However, architecture is more significant than any others like air in our life. Architecture is not a hero. Architecture is just a stage of our living.

We do not believe architecture will change the world and we do not work in order to change the world through architecture. For now, we are about to construct the architecture with architecture itself without a metadiscourse beyond architecture.

The post 30 Best Architecture and Design Firms in Seoul appeared first on Journal.

Ottoman mosques next to grand buildings dating back to the Byzantine Empire along with bustling local markets showcase a remarkable blend of ancient traditions and modern sensibilities within Turkey’s urban fabric. In the later part of the 20th century, following a period of great upheaval in Turkish society as well as various political movements and economic crises, contemporary architectural practices needed to evolve to keep up with their changing developments. More specifically, the country expanded its global trades, highly influencing the local construction industry and placing emphasis on, materiality, sustainability and urban regeneration strategies.

Projects from renowned architects such as Zaha Hadid’s Kartal Masterplan in 2006 as well as Emre Arolat’s many architectural designs have contributed to the country’s skyline and elevated its architectural scene. As a result, present-day architects have transformed Turkish architecture into an amalgamation of its cultural dictionary coupled with less rigid and flexible designs that reflect the country’s diversity and modern identity.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Turkey based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2024)

• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2024)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Turkey architecture firms throughout the year.

© Zemberek Design

Zemberek Design, a team mainly works on interior projects, is conservative about, starting a design process by “finding the right question” is the key element, that reveals the basic and simplest idea, leading to conclusion. This initial and most time-consuming phase of the design process evolves with dialogs and exchanging of ideas between the members of Zemberek Design Team.

Occasionally, constraints of existing building, project requirement, hierarchy of functions or decisions on circulation becomes the main idea of design, in addition to consider the space perception of the user. “The right question” that needs to be answered in the final project are taken into the consideration in its simplest form. Simple architectural solutions as answer to basic demands of the space make the user perceive the initial question. By the perception of space that is prioritized at the beginning of the process, initiation of an involvement process for the user in which the user is able to read and understand the cause-effect relations, is aimed. This approach renders the user-designer relation cyclical.

London is a city that has been forced to redevelop constantly. Like many cities, it has accrued layers of history. However, events like the Great Fire and The Blitz have also torn holes in the urban fabric, necessitating moments of reflection and rethinking. Nowadays, Georgian, Regency and Victorian architecture are intermingled with hulking Brutalist structures, curving glass façades and anonymous steel giants.

Nowadays, the city remains home to preeminent architectural schools such as UCL’s Bartlett School of Architecture. In addition, London’s galleries and museums nurture a design culture with thought-provoking exhibitions about space and society, including the ever-popular Serpentine Pavilion. Meanwhile, as a global metropolis, the British city’s diversity is one of its great strengths, becoming home to a bevy of heavyweight firms and up-and-coming studios whose names are known locally and abroad.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in London, United Kingdom based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2024)
• The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2024)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of London, United Kingdom architecture firms throughout the year.

Without further ado, here are the 30 best architecture firms in London, United Kingdom:

The first time someone decided to mix sweet and salty popcorn, their guests must have been horrified. Minutes later though they would be guzzling the lot. That’s the thing about new combinations – you have to be a bit odd to consider them in the first place, but when they pay off you’re left wondering how you managed before they existed.

Admittedly, this isn’t a usual sort of About page for an architectural practice, but we’re not a usual sort of practice. We believe that projects come alive through uncommon combinations of ideas and people. In fact, we think that’s the only way they really come alive at all.

India is a massive country with a long, complex history, and its architectural heritage reflects this varied past. With decolonization and independence in the mid-20th century, the country’s architects and politicians embraced modernist architecture as a symbolic move away from the past. In 1947, the country’s population totaled about 330 million, yet, there were just 300 trained architects. Today, the population of 1.38 billion consists of over 90,000 registered architects.

Rapidly growing urban centers and an influx of wealth continue to fuel architectural commissions, and even as skyscrapers go up, landscape designs are paid increasing attention. While many stories of the country’s design history have begun with outsiders like Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, today, Indian architects have taken control of the narrative and are cultivating an incredible design culture within their country and beyond. When it comes to contemporary Indian design, the incredible work of Pritzker-prize and RIBA Gold medal winner B.V. Doshi is just the tip of the iceberg.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in India based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2024)
• The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2024)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of India architecture firms throughout the year.

Without further ado, here are the 30 best architecture firms in India:

A vast yet narrow topography and a booming design community, Chile continues to gain recognition for its architectural achievements and innovative experimentations of space. Nestled between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the varying landscape — deserts, coastlines and mountainscapes — has led to interesting design variations and organizations. On the other hand, as a nation prone to seismic activity, Chile has experienced its fair share of natural disasters, leading to significant advances in earthquake-resistant structures.

Historically, a country’s notable moment was the end of the Pinochet regime that led to a boom in architecture schools and a broader curriculum. From Pritzker Prize-winning Alejandro Aravena to Cecilia Puga, an impressive cohort of Chilean architects has taken center stage in the international design community, and many new studios are on the rise, setting the bar high for continual national architectural feats.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Chile based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2024)
• The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2024)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Chile architecture firms throughout the year.

Without further ado, here are the 30 best architecture firms in Chile:

Albert Tidy Architects is an architecture office based in Santiago, Chile. We define our work as an exploration of architecture and design as plastic phenomenoma. Our search centers in the reduction of perceptible constructive complexities, to try to shorten the distance between the original idea and the complete building. This process is taken through a wide spectrum of scales, from object design, furniture design and architecture in a variety of scales.

Some of Tidy Architects’ most prominent projects include:

• Martínez House, Maipo, Chile
• Chovar House, Las Condes, Chile
