跡.建筑事務所(TAO),由建筑師華黎于2009年在北京創立,是當今中國建筑領域最活躍的設計團隊之一。
在TAO的實踐中,建筑并非僅僅被視為一個形式物體,而是被理解為一個與其環境不可分割的有機體。TAO的項目大多處于具有鮮明的自然以及歷史人文特征的場地中,其設計實踐通過深入挖掘建筑的場所意義以及充分運用此時此地的條件,營造根植于地域文化與環境的建筑和景觀,并詮釋其營造過程中涉及的豐富意義。場所精神、場地及氣候回應、當地資源合理利用,以及因地制宜的材料與建造方式等命題的探討,構成了TAO每個項目工作的核心內容。
TAO的主要設計作品包括:云南高黎貢手工造紙博物館、四川孝泉民族小學、武夷山竹筏育制場、 林建筑、四分院、將將甜品店、Lens空間、新寨咖啡莊園等。TAO曾贏得過美國建筑實錄雜志評選的2012全球設計先鋒以及最佳公共建筑獎、中國建筑傳媒獎青年建筑師獎、亞洲建協獎、2013阿卡汗國際建筑獎入圍、2016及2018BSI瑞士建筑獎提名以及WA建筑獎等多個獎項,作品多次受邀在威尼斯、紐約、柏林、北京、上海等地的國際及國內重要建筑展覽中展出,并多次被世界專業媒體出版報道。
TAO (Trace Architecture Office), one of the most active and influential architectural firms in China’s contemporary architecture field, was founded by architect HUA Li In 2009, and is based in Beijing.
Being critical at contemporary architecture as an obsession to fashionable forms in media driven globalized consumerism, TAO visions architecture as an evolving organism, being an inseparable whole with its environment, rather than just a formal object. With most projects positioned in particular cultural and natural settings in China, TAO explore the essence of place; make architecture deeply rooted in its cultural and environmental context with respect of local condition. The sense of place, response to climate, efficient use of local resource, site-responsive construction method, such issues are always explored in every TAO project responding to its specific situation.
TAO’s key works include: Museum of Handcraft Paper, XiaoQuan Elementary School, Wuyishan Bamboo Raft Factory, Forest Building, Split Courtyard House , TiensTiens Café, Lens Office Beijing and Xinzhai Coffee Manor. HUA Li and TAO has won several important architectural awards including Design Vanguard 2012 and GDGB China Awards by Architectural Record Magazine, Young Architect Award of 2012 China Architecture Media Awards, ARCASIA Awards for Architecture and WA Awards, shortlisted in Aga Kahn Award 2013, nominated in BSI Swiss Architectural Award 2016 & 2018. TAO’s works have been exhibited in Venice, Vienna, Berlin and New York, and have been widely published internationally.
