INNOVATIVE PRACTICE
BHUJON KANG ARCHITECTS is an award-winning design studio for architecture and urbanism.
The contemporary socio-economic changes invariably imply the unstable but dynamic social structure. The unprecedented phenomena demand professional fields to transform their nature into others upon the status proactively. We now confront a new building culture where the quantified matter is not only the valuing measurement in the market anymore and forced to investigate more complex ways how to build.
In this sense, we are equipped with multifaceted analytical tools to understand the urban conditions for various programs on demand. Our design is a consequence of the analysis which, of course, is closely related to the mutual satisfaction of our clients, community as well as the urban environment.
We look forward to having a great opportunity to support your successful business and lifelong well-being.
TRANS-CULTURAL
We pursue a creative practice under the transcultural variety. We try to find elaborative ways how to incorporate the various historical and contextual resources into innovative design solutions. We believe such a hybridization catalyzes to discover the potential values in the local community and to create its unique civic presence, that our global experiences make possible.
SUSTAINABLE
Needless to say, the most critical global issue is linked to the environmental crisis. Sustainability is a collective concern. Not only pointing out the social contribution, we, more importantly, consider the enhanced condition to facilitate our design for our clients. We provide the design solution with global green standards and B.I.M, which also satisfies the creativity.
COLLABORATIVE
We operated the projects by parties and individuals from everywhere. It doesn't limit them only to the architectural field. Talented engineers and artists can join the collaboration in the design process. We expect such a group synergy to extend the boundary of our design and discover more innovative ways of thinking. It is a core value in our practice.
