Tzou Lubroth Architekten (formerly 10.2 Architects)
is a Vienna-based architectural design practice founded in 2007 by
Chieh-shu Tzou and Gregorio S. Lubroth.
Our practice is built on
the belief that architecture is a social act, part of a process by
which desires are materialized causing environments to change. We
believe that architecture only gains relevance through an open dialog.
Each of our projects is influenced by the qualities of individual places
and by the people that inhabit them. And while the outcomes of our work
may vary widely in shape or form, our design process remains sensitive
to a context and to the desires that promise to change it.
We are interested in
people and their communities. Understanding and questioning how we
work, play, and rest, consume and coexist, is at the heart of our
design process. We are committed to the idea that design can inspire,
that it can enrich our lives and affect the way we interact with the
world around us.
Our projects are the
result of the communication that brought them into being: the thinking
and talking, the tinkering and drawing. While we value an idea for its
clarity, we know that such clarity often depends on playful
experimentation. Our work hopes to instill an awareness of place and a
sense of curiosity about the spaces that we inhabit.
