O-office Architects was established in 2007 by HE Jianxiang and JIANG Ying in Guangzhou, the central city of Pearl River Delta. O-office wrote its ambition in its name: returning to the fundamentals of architecture and space to experiment new design method in the southern Chinese urban context. O-office approaches architecture across various fields like technology, arts and media on the overwhelming background of “production” in contemporary China. Parallel to professional practice, O-office also uses design as a critical instrument for research on the spatial and economic reality, and maintains the balance between practical and research sides.
