Type 0 Architecture is a trans-disciplinary practice focusing on the technological transformation of architecture and the city.
Synthesizing the physical, digital and biological spheres of design and technology, Type 0 aims to develop novel ideas, methods and systems towards a more sustainable and innovative production of Architecture.
To fuel this transformation, Pan Yi Cheng has assembled three independent yet synergistic studios - Type0, Produce and Superstructure. Collectively, the studios specialize in the areas of Typological Transformation, Design Research and Digital Fabrication and Assembly respectively; offering an all-rounded approach to address the multi-faceted challenges of the built environment.
Type 0 has recently developed a computational urban design system for Singapore’s Paya Lebar Airbase concept masterplan and is presently working on the first Mass Timber residential project in Singapore.
To date, the collective has completed several internationally acclaimed and publicized projects including, Xtra & Herman Miller shop-in-shop, Wild Rocket, Kki Sweets and the Little Drom Store and Monoform Living. Produce was awarded the prestigious “Interior of the Year” award at the 2017 World Architecture Festival. Pan was recently nominated in the Prodigy Category in the 2017 INDE.Awards for demonstrating a progressive attitude towards imaginative design practice. Produce and Type 0 won the highest accolade, “the Best of the Best” award at the 2019 INDE Awards, for being a studio in the Indo-Pacific region that redefines and refocuses the significant role of architecture and design. In 2020 and 2022, Pan was shortlisted for the President Design Award 2020, Designer of the Year and was awarded a Letter of Commendation.
