The Essence of DAGA

The essence of DAGA is the combination of “design, technique and technology”. The goal is to create urban renewal space at multiple dimensions while valuing user experience and the variety of new space functions.

Beside working on hands-on design projects, UClub and DAGA developed a standardized construction process for designing co-working spaces to improve overall efficiency of the industry. Daga was also involved in developing building technologies like building scanning – using three-dimensional spatial data on terrain or complex objects acquired through non-contact high-speed laser scanning measurement in the form of array point clouds. This state-of-the-art technology can be applied to the study of urban renewal spaces.

DAGA Architect’s Footprint

There are now two DAGA Architects offices in Beijing and Shanghai respectively. DAGA has participated in 45 urban renewal projects in 17 cities in China and abroad, with a project area of 550,000 square meters. In 2018, DAGA inked contracts worth RMB 30 million, and collected RMB 16 million. It is expected that Daga will grow by more than 30% in 2019.
