Tag: ATELIER XI

Founded in 2017 by CHEN Xi in New York City, ATELIER XI is an architectural design practice currently based in Shenzhen, China. With work focusing on public and cultural projects at various scales, they are attentive to the needs of diverse groups and scales. The studio aspires to create spaces that bring unique poetry and profoundness to contemporary urban and rural environments. Everything is alive and beautiful. They believe that every small or large space contains the mysteries of the world and the glory of life. Designers are not creators, but tree planters. They hope to carefully plant every tree in a quiet and robust space, where life and stories can flourish. They believe that each space, grand or tiny, is a clue to the vastness of our world, and a testimony to the glory of everyday life. By planting these quiet and resilient spaces one at a time, they envision architecture to branch out and blossom with life and narratives.
