NILCRAFTZ is an architecture design studio, founded by Zeng Zhibin in Singapore.
"NILCRAFTZ" echoes its emphasized dedication to the potentiality of an intangible space over the physicality of a built form.
Unlike the eternal utopia under Platonic context, the optimal form of society which we believe in, progresses with the civilization. Architecture, as the hardware of such a evolving idea of utopia should reflect the zeitgeist of its time and the foreseeable time beyond. We are therefore cautious of taking classics as reference, as the true spirit of the classics is to be the avant-garde of their own times.
Among the core members of NILCRAFTZ, Zeng Zhibin graduated from the National University of Singapore with the best final thesis, and he was nominated for the Royal Institute of British Architect President Award Silver Medal. Prior to establishing NILCRAFTZ, Zeng Zhibin spent his early career with Pritzker Prize winner, Herzog & de Meuron as well as Singapore President Design Award winners, WOHA Architects and SCDA Architects. He has led multiple international projects of various scales and programs.
The scope of our design services ranges from architecture, landscape to installation arts and interior designs. NILCRAFTZ looks forward to collaborating with like-minded clients, institutions and personals and provide differentiated design solutions.
NILCRAFTZ 是一间年轻的建筑设计事务所,由曾志斌创立于新加坡。
NILCRAFTZ 直译为“虚无营造”,取自道德经十一章“当其无有室之用“,中对虚无空间为本,实存构筑为末的关系辨证和价值判断。
有别于柏拉图语境中恒定的乌托邦,我们相信随人类认知更新而演变的社会最优型态。建筑作为动态乌托邦的的载体,从对设计需求的认知到设计方法的选择,从建筑的自身建构逻辑到外在形式表现,都应是时代精神的映射。我们无意附庸经典,经典皆为彼时先锋。
事务所主要成员中曾志斌以最佳毕业设计硕士毕业于新加坡国立大学。曾获英国皇家建筑师协会总统奖银质奖章提名。曾先后任职于位于瑞士普利策获奖事务所赫尔佐格和德梅隆建筑事务所,以及新加坡总统奖获奖公司WOHA建筑事务所和SCDA建筑事务所。在此期间参与或领导了国内外不同尺度和功能的多项建筑项目。有丰富的跨国实践经验。公司其他主要成员皆有普利策奖事务所长期工作经历。
NILCRAFTZ 寻求与志同道合的业主,机构和个人合作,并提供差异化的设计服务。设计服务范畴包括了从定义城市界面的建筑和景观到场景营造的装置艺术和室内设计等的各个维度。
