Society of Architecture

Society of Architecture (SoA)是2010年在首尔创立的充满活力的建筑设计团队，正逐步打破建筑设计的界限。这个年轻团队由姜叙麟和李智勋两位主理人带领，他们以调查研究的方式出发，深入分析建筑与城市主义的社会环境，从中汲取灵感，实践多元且跨尺度的创作。SoA团队对现代生活方式有着深刻的理解，他们不断探寻新的可能性，希望通过建筑思维拓展建筑环境的内涵，将之运用于家具、室内、公共艺术、研究、出版等多个领域。他们的实践还与城市社会学、政治地理学、历史学、艺术等不同学科开展了丰富的跨界合作。SoA凭借创新的作品，曾获得诸多殊荣，包括2020韩国设计大奖、2020首尔建筑大奖及2023年韩国建筑史学会设计大奖等。除了在威尼斯双年展、光州设计双年展、MAXXI、国立现代美术馆、首尔市立美术馆等知名场馆举办展览，SoA还曾担任2017年"首尔建筑与城市主义双年展"的"生产城市"策展人，并受邀参加2023年威尼斯双年展韩国馆。一直以来，Society of Architecture以其超越传统的跨领域求知欲和参与度，成为当代建筑设计团队中充满创新活力的新生代先锋。 Founded in 2010 in Seoul, Society of Architecture (SoA) is a dynamic collective pushing the boundaries of architectural practice. Led by principals Yerin Kang and Chihoon Lee, this young firm takes an investigative approach, analyzing the social conditions of architecture and urbanism to inform their diverse, multi-scalar work. With a deep understanding of modern lifestyles, SoA searches for new possibilities to enrich the built environment through architectural thinking applied across furniture, interiors, public art, research, publications, and more. Their practice is enriched by collaborations spanning urban sociology, political geography, history, and art. SoA's inventive work has earned significant recognition, including the 2015 Young Architects Project award for Upo Nature Library, The Rabbit, and the Gender Equality Policy Expert Library. They were winners of the 2015 Young Architects Program organized by MMCA, MoMA, and Hyundai Card, later nominated as 2016 AR Emerging Architecture finalists for Roof Sentiment. With an impressive array of awards, exhibitions at prestigious venues like the Venice Biennale, and thought-provoking publications, SoA exemplifies an architectural practice transcending traditional boundaries through its multidisciplinary curiosity and engagement.
