德默营造建筑事务所成立于2004年，前身是2001年于德国柏林组建的都市建筑艺术设计和研究机构DAtrans，由合伙人陈旭东和吴洁博士共同主持。 2005年初，德默营造正式迁入上海M50艺术创意园区，开展建筑设计实践、相关研究和文化创意至今。

       事务所创立伊始，德默营造矢志关注全球化环境下的当代都市和建筑的变化与发展，并以积极的态度和专题概念，深度介入当代中国环境更新和城市改造；希望以多学科、跨领域、国际化的兼容并蓄的操作，严谨实务与专注研究的互动工作方法，广泛地参与到本土建筑设计实践。同时，德默营造还坚持在新型材料和数字技术的基础上，探索未来新建筑美学的可能性。

        德默营造有幸吸引了来自国内外的、有创造力和充满热情的建筑师、 城市规划师和景观设计师加盟，  同时还邀请设计师、 工程师、艺术家及经济管理专家作为顾问，共同组成跨界和复合的设计研究团队，  并与国内外多家设计咨询、  研究机构和产品技术供应商，形成长期稳定的技术交流与合作网络。德默营造希望结合欧洲的质量标准与中国市场的灵活需求，把长期积累的专业经验与客户至上的服务意识相结合，系统研究业主的设计咨询委托，严格执行质量管理体系的标准，全面推行项目流程的管理模型；在专注追求完美的创造性设计解决方案的同时，还郑重承诺客户提供高效、及时、完善的项目咨询服务。

       在成功完成了如尚街LOFT五维创意广场、慈城城市设计、 鼓楼民生服务中心、M50、西湖江南会、广东美术馆人文图书馆和凹凸家具库等一系列重要设计委托的同时，德默营造还受邀参加国内外重要的公共项目设计竞赛， 如台中城市文化馆、 2010上海世博会当代园林馆、斯德哥尔摩公共图书馆扩建和开封火车站站前商业街区等，并获得多项设计竞赛的奖项。

       德默营造对当代城市更新的系统研究和体现本土文化气质的原创建筑实践，引起了国内外专业界的关注和讨论，并受到国际权威的学术机构，  如荷兰国家建筑研究所、  比利时布鲁塞尔建筑中心和加拿大安大略博物馆等的邀请，在当代中国建筑和城市设计展上展出作品。 与此同时， 德默营造及合伙人还荣获2009年上海十大创意设计师称号、 入选2008年台湾《生活》杂志“未来十七位亚洲建筑新势力”和《周末画报》“2007中国十大新势力”，并入选2006年“上海百位时尚权利榜”。  德默营造的实施项目和工作成果，已被美国《纽约时报》、美国《建筑实录》、意大利《Domus》和德国《建筑世界》等国内外知名媒体报道。同时，德默营造也活跃在如米兰三年展、伦敦发电站艺术展、上海西岸建筑与当代艺术双年展、 深圳香港城市/建筑双城双年展、中国设计大展和上海艺术设计展等重要的专业和艺术文化活动中。

        在此，德默营造团队衷心期待，能与您共同携手，追逐心中的建造梦想，描绘崭新的天际线！
