During Beijing Design Week 2015, designboom visited URBANUS and spoke with partner Meng Yan about the studio’s dedication to research, their exhibition for BJDW 2015, and exciting upcoming projects. URBANUS is recognized as one of the most influential architecture practices in China. Founded in 1999 under the leadership of partners Xiaodu Liu ('95), Yan Meng ('96) and Hui Wang ('97), the Beijing-based studio has situated itself as more than just a design office, but as a think tank and research laboratory for urban-scale innovation.
