META-工作室是一个在建筑设计、城市研究、展览策划、及室内设计等领域展开创造的当代实践团队。工作室深切关注在当下城市发展状况日益失控的语境下，如何去定义“当代”生活方式－尤其是在亚洲城市前所未有的城市转变中所涌现出的新型社会/文化现象。同时，作为一个跨越建筑与城市研究的文化平台，META-工作室活跃于世界范围内的跨学科合作，试图建立一套跨越出版，影像，艺术，网络，展览等多种当代媒介的设计策略，以期推进当代城市文化价值。

通过对当代空间的深入理解，揭示其作为社会、文化、经济以及日常生活等不同层面叠加并相互关联的产物，META-工作室的研究以超越进化的模型对现实空间进行细致的分析，并藉此发现独特的社会/文化潜能。公司的实际项目通常以研究成果为助推，力图重新建立建筑与其所处社会环境之间的关系。

META-工作室相信面对当下新的挑战，建筑必须从一种被不断累积的种种“事物”所模糊了的状态种解脱出来，而达到复杂性和清晰性的新高度。她必须通过对现象的上位思考，经由抽象消除事物的混杂，才能够表达一个新的现实：即建筑不再是对社会现状的僵化反射，亦不是对无法维持的乌托邦的幼稚表达，而是对促进当代生活价值提供有针对性的，有效的介入策略。这一系列操作进一步定义了META-工作室。

META-Project is a contemporary practice operating in the fields of architecture, urbanism research, exhibition and interior design. META-Project is interested in what defines the contemporary way of life in the context of increasingly uncontrolled urban conditions, with specific focus on the emergent socio/cultural phenomenon in Asian cities generated by an unprecedented urban transition. At the same time, as a culture platform that spans between architecture and urbanism research, META-Project is actively engaged in worldwide cross-disciplinary collaboration that involve multiple dimensions of the contemporary medium: publication, video, art, network, exhibition, and to develop design strategies for promoting the culture of contemporary city.

By understanding the contemporary spaces as production from overlapping layers of social, cultural, economical and everyday-life interrelations, META-Project’s research carefully analyses the spatial reality through a meta-evolutional model that allows discovery of unusual socio/cultural potential. The projects of the office are often fuelled by the outcome of our researches, and aim to establish a new relationship between architecture and its social environment.

META-Project believes that facing today’s new challenges, architecture has to evolve from a situation that is obscured by the accumulation of 'things', to a new level of complexity and clarity, in which it is decongested and abstracted, so as to show a new reality where architecture is not just petrified reflection of our society, nor naïve expression of unsustainable utopia, but effective intervention that promoting new value of contemporary life. These actions define what META-Project is.

META-Project was founded by Wang Shuo and Zhang Jing in New York City. On the basis of several distinguished projects, it established the Beijing office in 2009, while joining force with its business partner Fu. Before establishing META-Project, all partners worked for internationally renowned offices. After graduating from the Rice University, Wang Shuo worked as architect at Peter Gluck and Partners in New York and Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in Rotterdam, and as Project Architect for OMA’s Beijing office, he worked on the tallest tower in Bangkok - MahaNakhon. Zhang Jing graduated from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with the distinguished “Award of Excellence”, after which she gained experience at the Hariri & Hariri Architecture in New York, as well as OMA’s Rotterdam and Beijing Offices.
