AAarchitects (formerly named Isozaki Aoki and Associates) is an architectural and urban design firm established in 2011 through the reorganization and restructuring of the architectural design and design management division of Arata Isozaki and Associates.

The firm has been established with a mission to transform and enrich architectural and urban environments by continually reexamining and reconstructing the tools, processes, and dynamics that shape the built environment.

In 2019, the core members of AAarchitects merged with the European firm Design Community and established AA|DC as a platform to strengthen global activities and enable enriched collaborations across a broader range of fields and industries.
