Founded in 1994 by Dubbeldam, Archi-Tectonics NYC, LLC is a research-design studio with offices in New York City, Amsterdam, and Hangzhou. Dubbeldam and Justin Korhammer, partner since 2016, lead a multi-national team of architects, engineers and consultants that work across scales and types. The studio’s design approach is rooted in systems thinking,  creating buildings, healthy environments, and innovative designs optimized across all aspects of a project—from parametrics, 3D printing and FTF manufacturing to performance and user experience. This results in buildings that have character and identity, that derive inspiration from the far past to excel in the global future.

Archi-Tectonics recently won the 2023 CTBUH Award of Excellence in the Urban Habitat Category for the Asian Games 2023 Masterplan, the Architizer A+ Architecture Innovation Award for the Asian Games Hybrid Stadium [2023], and the AIA Award for the 512GW building NYC [2022]. Archi-Tectonics’ fourth book “Strange Objects, New Solids, and Massive Things” was launched Fall 2021 by Actar, Spain, and the Asian Games Ecopark & buildings are currently exhibited in Palazzo Bembo at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023 with the exhibit “Strange Objects” featuring a 7m long 3d printed section-cut through the mile long park.
