ATAH believes that Zeitgeist is the Muse for designers
Contemporary architects should create new experience for space through more simultaneous and interactive manners, and architecture completion and use condition are still the only standard to measure the design quality. Hence, we focus on the whole process of planning, designing, construction, and use feedback to keep progressing. We believe that architectural process is not deliberate pursuit of luxury and superior difficulty, but the selection on the most appropriate material and architectural techniques to reflect client aspirations, explore space potentials, and present design intent.
