OBRA 建筑事务所2000年由帕布罗 ∙ 卡斯特洛和詹妮弗 ∙ 李共同创立。OBRA负责的项目范围很广,并一致通过对于材料、结构、选址和体验的探索追求发明的灵感和兴趣。他们的实践试图挑战并拓展建筑挖掘其自身意义/涵义的隐喻范畴。OBRA把每个项目都视为与其周边环境、外延的选址以及对建筑作品的理念理解密切相关。因此,很多他们的方案和已完成的作品包括户外元素和大自然融合的因素。
OBRA Architects was founded by Pablo Castro and Jennifer Lee in the year 2000 in New York City. The projects undertaken by OBRA Architects span a wide range of programs and sizes yet consistently seek to evoke invention and interest through explorations of material, structure, site and experience. Their practice and their work seek to challenge and expand the range of metaphors in which architecture finds its meaning. OBRA considers each and every project to be intimately bound to its surroundings, extending afield into site and landscape the conceptual understanding of the architectural work. As a result many proposals and built works include outdoor components and integration into the natural or urban landscape.
当前的作品包括阿根廷的住宅、纽约Soho区的咖啡厅、哥斯达黎加的一处私人生态住宅以及康涅狄格州新迦南市45英亩公园一个快速增长的社区的社区中心和教堂。他们刚完工了南按普敦一个10,800sf住宅。过去的项目范围包括从大规模住宅区规划、博物馆、歌剧院到小尺度的家具以及灯具。他们的作品向世界扩展包括了中国内蒙古奥尔多斯住宅和一些早期计划中的其他区域项目。
Current work includes a residence in Argentina, a café in Soho, a private eco-residence in Costa Rica, and a community center and church for a growing congregation in New Canaan, Connecticut on a 45-acre park. They have just completed a 10,800 sf residence in Southampton, New York. Past projects range from large-scale residential masterplans, museums and opera houses to small-scale furniture and lighting. They have expanded their international reach to include several projects in China, including a villa in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, and have a few projects in early planning stages in various areas in the region.
