AUBE Conception

AUBE Conception began on 21 April 1997 at 1 Rue Primatice in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, and now runs a French practice alongside a Shenzhen office and an engineering consultancy in the same city. In French, aube means the first light in the sky, and the studio uses that as its working brief: design for living spaces rather than for silhouettes.

The practice describes itself as a comprehensive brand in architecture, landscape and urban planning, organised around two core products — convention complexes and urban complexes — with design management, BIM, VR and prefabrication as specialist services. Around 500 people work across five joint disciplines covering architecture, planning, landscape, structure and M&E, and the office counts more than 1,800 completed projects. Its own portfolio includes the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center and the CFC Changfu Center.
