Daipu Architects has continuously worked closely with artists and engineers. This is because we recognize that in many of our projects, we benefit significantly from advice from professionals in fields such as linguistic esthetician and technical consulting. It is only through these collaborative efforts that we believe we will be able to increase understanding across disciplines.

Since the establishment of the firm, via continuous thinking, researching, exhibiting and practicing, the firm has developed a new set of working approaches and practicing strategies. From early stage plan to concept development, from skyscraper to tactility of a handle or a step, all these are included in our thinking system. It is a way for us to have our thoughts and ideas projected to the solid world; it also demonstrates our persistence to high perfection of projects.
