SO – IL builds culture. We envision spaces for the arts, innovation, living and learning. We design with strong direction and clarity to engage our evolving world. We work together with clients and consultants to realize the vision for each project. Synthesizing digital technology and traditional craft, we design to re-engage people with the physical realm. Our projects serve as platforms of exchange that welcome interpretation and transformation. Our efforts have been recognized with a variety of professional awards for architecture as well as design and innovation, including an AIA San Francisco Merit Award, the Curbed Groundbreakers Award, the Progressive Architecture Award, the Architectural League Emerging Voices Award, the MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program Award and the AIA Young Architects Award. Publications such as The New York Times, Wired, BOMB, Domus, and Architectural Record have featured our work. According to the Los Angeles Times, our design for the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis, suggests “fresh directions for American architecture.” SO – IL was founded by Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu in 2008.
