ARCHIS is a multi-disciplinary and research-led architecture studio working at the intersection of architecture, urban design, and science.

Since 2020, ARCHIS has been developing innovative approaches that support the increasing dynamism and complexity of contemporary buildings and cities. ARCHIS utilizes bottom-up and non-linear design research methods that embrace contradictions and complexities in the built environment. In constantly pushing the boundaries of existing temporal and spatial relationships, the studio aims to produce solutions that are not formally preconceived, but rather emergent from and tailored to the particular contextual adjacencies and contingent interrelationships of each project.

ARCHIS（如是）建筑设计事务所是一家成立于2020年的国际新锐设计事务所，公司总部位于杭州，并在波士顿设立分部。自创立以来，ARCHIS（如是）建筑设计事务所坚持运用跨学科的设计研究方法，在不同尺度的项目里进行跨尺度的创新设计实践，为当代城市发展和更新的动态过程中所面临的复杂问题提供综合解决方案。面对不同尺度的项目，如何创造多维度的非指令性的设计语言是如是建筑设计事务所首要的设计目标。
