The work of IA x RA consists of two parts: IA (Infra-arch, architecture studio) focuses on the design and construction of architecture and space, and RA (Reflex-arc, think tank) focuses on cross-disciplinary exploration and research, enabling design to become the medium that connects various groups of people and their perspectives. Our core members are from different disciplines such as architecture, landscape, economics, politics, and urban planning. The two parts support each other and complete the continuous spiral exploration from research to project implementation. We are interested in the changes in contemporary Chinese cities, and hope that through research, visual arts, exhibitions, and the creation of the building itself, we can better explore the methods to solve urban problems and influence contemporary cities in a more humane way.
