Beijing-based People’s Architecture Office (PAO) was founded in 2010 by He Zhe (1978), James Shen (1977) and Zang Feng (1978), and consists of a team of architects, engineers, product designers and urbanists. With the belief that design is for the masses, the studio focuses on social impact through design. PAO is the first architecture practice in Asia certified as a B-Corporation and serves as a model for social entrepreneurship.
