近期，全球最具影響力的建筑設(shè)計(jì)企業(yè)之一HOK建筑設(shè)計(jì)公司對美國360建筑事務(wù)所的收購動(dòng)作正在有條不紊的進(jìn)行。建筑暢言網(wǎng)記者專程采訪了HOK全球副總裁Bill Hellmuth和HOK亞太區(qū)董事總經(jīng)理Riccardo Mascia，希望能夠進(jìn)一步了解收購細(xì)節(jié)，以及這次收購事件可能為建筑設(shè)計(jì)業(yè)界帶來的影響。

The merging and acquisition among big enterprises is always the focus of the industry, as it relates not only to the parties directly involved, but also to the pattern of the whole industry. 

HOK, one of the most influential architectural design firm is recently undertaking acquisition of 360 Architecture. Archcy.com has exclusively interviewed Bill Hellmuth, vice president of HOK, as well as Riccardo Mascia, managing director of HOK’s Asia Pacific practice, who have introduced acquisition details and expected impact on the architectural design world.

HOK全球副總裁Bill Hellmuth

建筑暢言網(wǎng)：HOK在半個(gè)多世紀(jì)的發(fā)展過程中，經(jīng)歷過幾次大的變動(dòng)或者轉(zhuǎn)型？契機(jī)是什么？

Over the past half century of development, how many big changes or transitions has HOK experienced? What was the opportunity behind each? 

Bill Hellmuth：在過去的60年里，HOK一方面靠自身的有機(jī)生長，一方面通過在全球兼并數(shù)家事務(wù)所獲得了長足的發(fā)展。歷史而言，與其他公司結(jié)成伙伴關(guān)系或通過進(jìn)入新興市場促成了公司的規(guī)模壯大。

在計(jì)劃宣布收購360建筑事務(wù)所之前，我們于2013年12月收購了酒店建筑與室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)巨頭BBG-BBGM的上海與紐約團(tuán)隊(duì)，這極大提高了我們在高端酒店設(shè)計(jì)方面的實(shí)力。

HOK戰(zhàn)略性遍布全球的強(qiáng)健辦公網(wǎng)絡(luò)，結(jié)合我們?nèi)蛑男袠I(yè)專家，確保了我們的成功。我們長期以來對設(shè)計(jì)品質(zhì)和服務(wù)多樣性的堅(jiān)持讓我們即使在個(gè)別區(qū)域和市場經(jīng)濟(jì)萎縮時(shí)也能獲得整體的持續(xù)成功。

Over the past 60 years, HOK has grown both organically and by acquiring several firms across the world. Partnerships with other firms and movement into emerging markets have historically driven the firm’s expansion. 

Prior to announcing our plans to acquire 360 Architecture, we greatly enhanced our hospitality design practice in December 2013, when architecture and interior design firm BBG-BBGM’s Shanghai and New York employees joined HOK. 

HOK’s strong, strategically located network of offices across the world, combined with our internationally recognized market experts, position us for success. Our focus on quality and diversity has enabled our practice to thrive during economic downturns in specific markets or regions.
