ARCHITECTS OFFICE (AO)
BRAZIL
ARCHITECTS OFFICE（AO）是一家由Greg Bousquet领导的国际建筑、城市规划与室内设计事务所，总部位于巴西圣保罗Vila Madalena的Fradique Coutinho街。官网介绍团队由约110名专业人员组成，在世界各地的团队和项目中协作。
AO的工作从调查和倾听开始：通过制图、地域阅读、自然流线、气候、景观、材料与社会关系来理解项目所在的环境，再将研究转化为建筑、城市和室内设计。事务所不试图把固定的形式语言复制到不同地方，而是让每个项目回应具体的文化、地形、法规与生活方式，在不同尺度之间建立联系。
事务所的实践覆盖建筑、城市规划、室内设计、产品设计和景观，项目类型包括住宅、办公、商业、教育、酒店、文化建筑、公共空间与大型城市开发。其代表性项目包括Curitiba的AGE 360、Brasília Technology Park中的WTC Biotic以及位于巴西Bahia的Marangatu Luxury Hotel。AO也通过内部模型制作实验室研究体量、比例、材料性与空间关系，并将技术、创造力和对环境的关注结合起来。
ARCHITECTS OFFICE (AO) is an international practice led by Greg Bousquet, working in architecture, urbanism and interior design from its base in Vila Madalena, São Paulo, Brazil. The studio's website describes a team of around 110 professionals collaborating across teams and projects around the world.
AO begins with investigation and listening. Cartographies, territorial readings, natural flows, climate, landscape, materiality and collective relationships are used to understand the conditions of a place before proposing a design. Rather than transferring a fixed formal language from one location to another, the practice allows each project to respond to its cultural, topographic, regulatory and everyday context, connecting different scales of architecture, city and landscape.
The studio works across architecture, urbanism, interior design, product design and landscape, with projects ranging from houses and apartments to offices, retail, education, hospitality, cultural buildings, public spaces and large urban developments. Recent work includes AGE 360 in Curitiba, WTC Biotic within the Brasília Technology Park and the Marangatu Luxury Hotel in Bahia. AO also operates an internal modelmaking laboratory to investigate volume, proportion, materiality and spatial relationships, bringing technical precision, creativity and environmental awareness together.
