ngo + pasierbiński is an original architectural studio founded by Duc Ngo and Piotr Pasierbiński in 2020. We gained our professional experience over many years at Sou Fujimoto Architects in Tokyo, and our projects have been awarded in numerous competitions both nationally and internationally.

We have been involved in - programmes of various scale, from small exhibition space and art installation during Tallinn Architecture Biennale to House of Hungarian Music in Budapest, and several housing developments in Prague, Amsterdam, Vancouver, New York, and Shanghai.

Duc Ngo graduated from TU Delft in the Netherlands and from National University of Civil Engineering in Vietnam.

Piotr Pasierbiński received his Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degrees from the Cracow University of Technology in Poland. During his studies, he was granted a scholarship at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and at the National University in Singapore.

We both had worked for international architecture offices across Asia, Europe, and North America, until we met at Sou Fujimoto Architects in Tokyo. From then on, we have been working together on several projects around the world.

"The studio's philosophy is naive, yet disciplined exploration. Naive, meaning simple and sincere, based on the belief that it is worthwhile to design according to ideals. Naive, but combined with the discipline of the design process and argumentation, and the logic of the decisions made.

In the design process, we seek admiration for natural phenomena, historical layers or cultural contexts in order to derive specific architectural moves from them. We reach for spatial solutions that evoke emotions. We allow ourselves to dream, and then we design. The foundation, however, is rigorous research. Designing without exploring the context is not naive, it is disrespectful
