BIAS Architects & Associates was established in Taiwan by Hanju Chen, Chen-Jung Liu, and Alessandro Martinelli in 2013. BIAS is first and foremost interested in public space, including public space materiality and activities. In this respect, BIAS aims to foster cultural engagement and social awareness by uniting space and program design with attention to both the human and non-human stakeholders of public space.

In recent years, BIAS not only developed and implemented several projects for the transformation of Taiwan public space but also curated a series of important public events with large-scale installations for the promotion of Taiwan culture and public space, including the first two installments of Taipei ‘Nuit Blanche,’ the national exhibitions ‘2019 Creative Expo Taiwan’ and ‘2020 Taiwan Design Expo,’ and a modern religious festival named ‘DAXI DAXI’ where contemporary design joins folk beliefs. While the participation in these events has ranged from 200,000 to over 1,000,000 people, both the architectural and curatorial projects have been internationally awarded on several occasions.

BIAS partners are Hanju Chen (Master in architecture at THU, Taiwan, and the Berlage Institute, the Netherlands), Chen-Jung Liu (Master in Landscape architecture at THU, Taiwan, and in architecture at the Berlage Institute, the Netherlands), and Alessandro Martinelli (Master in architecture at the USI Mendrisio, Switzerland, the Berlage Institute, the Netherlands, and Ph.D. in architecture at the USI Mendrisio, Switzerland). Besides the partners, BIAS is composed of architects,  landscape architects, curators, and a number of external consultants from various fields, including sociology, the visual arts, as well as engineers and construction experts.
