Cheungvogl Architecture Studio
Cheungvogl is a multilingual and multicultural international design studio founded by Judy Cheung and Christoph Vogl after their contributions to Lord Norman Foster’s headquarters in London, UK. Cheungvogl has participated in more than 100 projects varying in scale across Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East, which include Wembley Stadium in London, Anfa Plage in Morocco, Sama Dubai Towers in Melbourne, Queen Alia International Airport in Jordan, Madison Avenue Tower in New York, Queen Anne's Gate in London, International Trade Centre Ho Chi Min City Vietnam, EO Tower Dubai, Alexander House in New York, Centralized Science Laboratories in Hong Kong and University of Pennsylvania Student Housing.
Their architecture often encompasses multiple fields of design, ranging from urban scale through to details of interiors and products. Their studio is currently working on projects of different scales in Japan, China, Germany and North America. Current projects such as Nunnmps Information Technology Centre in Chicago, winning competition KAT-Ohno Exhibition Centre in Tokyo, Shinjuku Gardens in Tokyo, 2 houses in Tokyo, San Antonio de Padua de Chépica in Chile, Dubai Seven, Dubai, UAE and Torre Mesquita in Macau are renowned for their seamless and subtle approach to amalgamate art into architecture.
Judy Cheung and Christoph Vogl consistently redefine boundaries between architecture, art and design. Their projects not only experiment with architectural phenomenon, they often express certain sensitivity through reinterpretation of non-material substances. Their passionate engagement with ‘time’ as an integral part of their palette forms a new typology within the limitless context of space and experiences. They interrupt and express time as an extension of life, which is simply engaged in our everyday experiences. Time is not a measurable ‘unit’; its vague existence is undoubtedly beyond the physical parameters of lengths, widths and heights. Quality is not measured by cubic meters; it is the feeling of contentment, the emotions that one remembers. The simultaneous engagement between time, architecture, art and culture is their passion and commitment.
Cheungvogl: Architecture is the structure of anything.
The making of architecture is more than searching for an aesthetic form. From conception to realization, the design process transforms a theoretical approach into a sensible build product. The rationalization of the process is a rigorous analysis of needs, breaking down the elements into parts and subsequently finding a holistic approach to the problem. It is a complex study of how architecture could be used to enhance our cultural dynamics, how new insertions could embrace changing social needs, and how new inventions could create a more sustainable future.
We continue to question, research and analyse the notion of fundamental needs versus fashionable trends. Our research methodologies differ depending on the social, cultural, historical, economical and functional contexts. By thinking deeper into traditional heritage and modern technologies simultaneously, we begin to explore, articulate and respond to every questionable conditions of life. We are fascinated by the ordinary things or situations that most people take for granted.
Design is an attitude that exists in every aspect of our lives. Through the making of architecture, we amalgamate science into art; art into architecture; architecture into the poetics of space. The amalgamation between theory, exploration and practice offer us a versatile structure for endless possibilities.
This structure is without boundaries. |
