[edit] Design philosophy
Pure architecture and pure design are the design philosophy of Asiacity Architects. They are about innovation, inventiveness and creativity. Asiacity Architects strives not to be hindered by existing doctrines and create an environment anew. Based on a series of utilitarian requirements as a starting point, the design approach is to think holistically with a stronger emphasis on functions and originalities. Style is important but it should never be the initial framework for any project. Ultimately, Architecture to Asiacity Architects is fundamentally a challenge to create a muti-functional, innovative environment that enhances the qualities of living and create values inventively for our every-evolving lifestyles. Asiacity Architects sees this radical approach as emergent in the way of doing architecture and design in the foreseeable future.
Asiacity Architects believes for a design to be beautiful, it has to be meaningful; meaningful because it is functional. And functional because it is useful – useful on an everyday basis, just like a ritual.
