Karamuk Kuo

摘要

Jeannette Kuo (Indonesia, 1978) and Unal Karamuk (Zurich, 1978) opened their office in Zurich in 2010. In the decade since then, partly thanks to the Swiss design-competition system, they have been very busy creating sports complexes, schools, theatres, single-family houses, collective housing units and mixed-use buildings. Parallel to architectural design, Kuo works an educator and publicist, taking part in a debate with ancient theoretical roots, namely the current nature of workplaces. Karamuk Kuo Architects belongs to a new generation of architecture practices whose members, educated as they were in open and dynamic academical environments, staunchly believe in the role that architecture plays in shaping better surroundings.
