100architects

100architects was born with the mission of improving our cities and the experience of citizens in the public realm, by providing high-quality, innovative, and stimulating public spaces, inclusive & accessible to everyone.

Our architecture studio doesn’t do buildings (at least not in a conventional way). Through our experimental design approach, our work aims to transform the cityscape we know today into the hyper-stimulating one we envision tomorrow.

We specialize in public spaces & spaces for entertainment, generating innovative solutions that encourage the occurrence of joyful social dynamics.

We believe play is the purest form of creativity, thus, we imagine cities as playgrounds for citizens, regardless of their age or social status, encouraging learning through play and social interactions.

At 100architects, we believe that working in public space is a privilege. We consider our office an experimental lab for creative urban solutions, driven by the passion for shaping the cities of tomorrow.

The team in our Shanghai-based office is composed of 16 young creative architects and designers whose work lies at the intersection of place-making, street art, landscape architecture, and urban interventions.

100 was founded in 2013 in Shanghai by Marcial Jesús, and is currently led by 4 partners –Javier González (Spain), Jenny Fan (China), Matías Hernández (Chile), and Marcial Jesús (Chile) – establishing an international collaborative workshop with talents from the US, Italy, Spain, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, and China.
