WHY Architecture is a multidisciplinary design practice that links people, culture, and place through work in architecture and planning. Founded in 2004 by Kulapat Yantrasast, the firm operates from offices in Los Angeles and New York City and is organized into five interdependent workshops: Buildings, Landscape, Museums, Objects, and Ideas. This cross-disciplinary structure enables the firm to engage across sectors, delivering projects that span museums, cultural landmarks, mixed‑use developments, community arts centers, and private residences.
The practice is based in Culver City, California. Its clients include cultural institutions and public bodies seeking design solutions for public-oriented spaces, including galleries and museums as well as mixed-use developments. The company has earned recognition in cultural and civic architecture through projects such as the Ross Pavilion and West Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh and, more recently, a commission for the Louvre in Paris.
