aoe is an award-winning, Beijing-based architectural design practice established in September 2016. The name “aoe” (architecture of event) is derived from the expression attributed to American architect, Bernard Tschumi, which states that ‘there is no architecture without event’. Beyond that statement, the architectural philosophy is a core value of aoe’s practice. aoe is a dynamic design force in the fast-changing world, focusing on the goal of improving the living environment by engaging new technologies, materials, social values, history, art, and culture. When designing, aoe studies and refines the vivid relationship between architecture, space, and its users to encourage a positive impact on society with innovative design solutions. The natural logic of being, such as space, material, construction, and technology, is the key-driven force for generating space and form. aoe’s solution-oriented design approach provides professional services to maximize the success of every project.
