“From concept to realization, architecture becomes a force for change.”
In his over two decades of architectural practice, Kuo-Chien Shen has specialized in spatial innovation that integrates advanced technology, cultural context, and sustainable strategies. As a Partner at KRIS YAO | ARTECH (2013–2025), he led internationally acclaimed public and industrial projects, including TSMC’s R&D Centers in Taiwan and the U.S., the New Taipei City Art Museum, the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum, and the Wuzhen Theater, earning numerous global awards.
Advanced Digital Fabrication & Architectural Applications
We integrate parametric design, digital fabrication, and cross-disciplinary technologies to explore new possibilities in advanced manufacturing for architecture—streamlining the process from structural detail to large-scale construction.
Low-Carbon Architecture & Sustainability Strategies
With sustainability at the core, we employ low-carbon materials, energy-efficient systems, and circular strategies to create spaces that embody both aesthetics and environmental responsibility.
AI-Assisted Design & Smart Building Technologies
We leverage AI to enhance design efficiency and creativity, integrating smart materials and building technologies to transform frontier research into tangible architectural solutions.
Academic Exchange & Architectural Education Partnerships
We actively engage in international competitions and collaborations, bringing Taiwan’s expertise in architecture, digital fabrication, and sustainability to the global stage, while fostering knowledge exchange and cultural dialogue across borders.
“Design × Fabrication × Sustainability — redefining the future of architecture.”
CROSS FOUNDRY will be co-founded with Taiwan’s most cutting-edge digital fabrication lab Roso, creating a new platform centered on integrating advanced manufacturing in architecture. The platform will combine design, fabrication, and environmental strategies to drive the adoption of low-carbon, energy-efficient, and locally sourced materials, as well as the practice of long-lifespan architecture. By bringing AI-assisted design, smart materials, and other frontier research directly into real-world projects, it will create a complete link from concept to implementation.
