About WE-DESIGNS.ORG

ORIGINS: Established in 2003, and officially launched as a collective in 2008, WE-DESIGNS.ORG is currently a multi-disciplinary creative group. As a developmental and collaborative team of creatives (architectural + design) individuals, all our designs are established within the international standard, detailed orientated, quality within multiple design functions, but not limited to: interactive installation, architectural, urban planning, and research-based design schemes. Interested in the emergent, interactive, and progressive/dynamic investigation of architecture + design, the WE-DESIGNS.ORG 「Team」 members are composed of an international base of ingénue designers from distinctive backgrounds + multifaceted design fields, which hence produce a differentiated approach to the integral design within a project.
