At Studio J. Jih, architecture aligns with exploration and growth. In the words of principal J. Roc Jih, architecture is a place “to dissect value, to encounter the values of others, and to continually evolve one’s own values.” This readily occurs through collaboration, a notion that pervades all aspects of the firm’s practice.

Memorial to the Victims of the 1871 Chinese Massacre (1 - 3)
Commemorating the overlooked 19th-century massacre of Chinese immigrants, this scheme is shortlisted for a competition sponsored by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. A honed, cylindrical limestone vessel is carved out to reveal an interior void with 18 polished flutes—one for each victim. Images courtesy Studio J. Jih, click to enlarge.
