Neri&Hu Design and Research Office 

Founded in 2004 by partners Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu, Neri&Hu Design and Research Office is an inter-disciplinary architectural design practice based in Shanghai. The practice’s burgeoning global portfolio includes commissions ranging from master planning and architecture, to interior design, installation, furniture, product, branding and graphic works. Currently working on projects in many countries, Neri&Hu is composed of multi-cultural staff who speak over 30 different languages. The diversity of the team reinforces a core vision for the practice: to respond to a global worldview incorporating overlapping design disciplines for a new paradigm in architecture. 

Neri&Hu’s location is purposeful. With Shanghai considered a new global frontier, Neri&Hu is in the immediate center of this contemporary chaos. The city’s cultural, urban, and historic contexts function as a point of departure for design inquiries that span across a wide spectrum of scales. Furthermore, Neri&Hu has expanded the conventional boundaries of practice to include complementary disciplines. A critical probing into the specificities of program, site, function, and history is essential to the creation of rigorous work. Based on research, Neri&Hu anchors its ethos on the dynamic interaction of experience, detail, material, form, and light rather than conforming to a formulaic style. 

Neri&Hu and their designs have been recognized by a number of prestigious international awards spanning the fields of architecture, interior, product and graphic design: Architizer A+ Awards Jury Winner (2022); Dezeen Awards Architecture Studio of the Year (2021); Frame Lifetime Achievement Award (2021); Architizer A+Firm Awards Best Firm (2021); Madrid Design Awards (2020); Design for Asia Grand Award (2020); Blueprint Overall Award for Design (2019); The Plan Award Overall Winner (2018); ELLE Decor International Design Awards Designers of the Year (2017); ICONIC Awards Interior Designers of the Year (2017); INSIDE: World Festival of Interiors Awards (2017); ELLE Decor Japan Design Awards Designers of the Year (2016); Dezeen Hotlist (2016); Maison&Objet Asia Designers of the Year (2015); Wallpaper* Design Awards Designers of the Year (2014); Far Eastern Architectural Design Award (2014); Interior Design Hall of Fame Induction (2013); Architectural Review Emerging Architecture Award (2010); Red Dot Award (2010); Architectural Record Design Vanguard (2009).

如恩设计研究室 

如恩设计研究室由郭锡恩和胡如珊于2004年共同创立，是一家立足于中国上海的多元化建筑设计事务所。如恩设计提供国际化的建筑、室内、整体规划、平面以及产品设计服务。如恩目前的项目分布在很多不同的国家，拥有来自全世界各地的员工，使用超过30种语言。不同文化背景组成了如恩的设计团队，正是团队的差异独特性增强了我们的设计理念：以全球化的观念结合多元、重叠的设计理念来创造一个新的建筑范例。 

如恩选择上海有其独特的原因。上海是一个走在世界前沿的城市，如恩就处在这个多种元素并存的中心，融入了上海的文化、城市和历史背景，并将其作为开拓建筑设计的一个出发点。目前与建筑相关的课题正趋于超出传统设计的界限，如恩设计研究室则用其他补充方式对建筑的传统分界提出挑战并进行诠释。 

如恩在世界各地的建筑设计大奖中屡获殊荣：美国Architizer A+专业评审奖（2022）；英国Dezeen年度最佳建筑事务所（2021）；荷兰Frame 终身成就奖（2021）；美国Architizer A+Firm年度最佳事务所（2021）；马德里设计节设计大奖（2020）；亚洲最具影响力设计大奖（2020）；英国《蓝图》杂志设计奖（2019）；意大利《The Plan》杂志设计奖（2018）；意大利EDIDA国际设计大奖年度设计师（2017）；德国标志性设计奖年度室内设计师（2017）；INSIDE国际室内设计节设计大奖（2017）；日本《Elle Decor》杂志设计大奖年度设计师（2016）； 英国Dezeen年度炙热排行榜（2016）；法国巴黎国际时尚家居设计展览会年度亚洲设计师（2015）；英国《Wallpaper*》杂志年度设计师（2014）；远东建筑奖（2014）；美国《室内设计》杂志名人堂（2013）；英国《建筑评论》杂志新锐建筑奖（2010）；德国红点设计大奖（2010）；美国《建筑实录》杂志设计先锋（2009）。

Ugan concept has carefully reclaimed wooden shingles from southwest China andinvited Neri&Hu to interpret the re-use of thematerials, therefore, Neri&Hu designed the installation "Primordial".

感物Ugan concept回收了中国西南地区的木瓦板，邀如恩一同探讨材料的再利用。基于此，如恩设计了木瓦板装置《檐》。
