Sensor Architecture Studio (SAS)

Sensor Architecture Studio (SAS) was founded in Jing’an District, Shanghai in 2019 by architect Chen Li. It is a small, innovative architectural design studio. The core team consists of young architects with international backgrounds, as well as experienced architects and designers. The design scope covers urban design, block design, architectural design, environmental design, interior design…

In SAS（森舍建筑）, Chinese character “森” represents our aspiration that design should embody the same complexity and diversity as the greatest natural landscape, “forest森”. It exhibits sensitivity to the local environment while maintaining purity towards the overall environment. We aspire to become an architectural design firm with an awareness of urban design and the ability to recreate land. The relationship between the city and architecture is not merely a difference in scale and dimension; it involves discussions that extend far beyond the ontological nature centered around individual buildings. This urban landscape map painting contains a power that excites us. Our firm’s design works have won awards both domestically and internationally, and have been published in various design media magazines.
