Our goal is to develop high-quality solutions, derived from Chinese culture and architectural needs, based on western know-how and experience.While continuing to be active in the area of architectural design in China, crossboundaries architects have begun to vigorously explore and participate in culture-exchanging research, programs and art exhibitions, in order to enrich its practice. As the name indicates, crossboundaries architects stay in an elaborated contemporary definition of architectural practice with a broad view that looks beyond.
