"The name of
“Urbanus” derives from the Latin word of “urban”, and strongly reflects
the office’s design approach: reading architectural program from the
viewpoint of the urban environment in general, and the ever changing
urban situations in specific. Urbanus is committed to the Modernist
believe that architecture is a pivotal force for a better life, and
hence architects should push the boundary of their traditional role and
be a progressive force in the society."
Urbanus is a chinese firm based in Beijing, relatively young (founded in 1999) and one which has taken China's architecture and urbanism revolution at full speed. There isn't much I can say about the firm besides urge you to check their work.

to add to ed's insightful
to add to ed's insightful insight, i have been to their offices in shenzhen and they do have some of the sickest work of any of the firms i saw in china. their concern not only for aesthetics but also for the social well-being of the people for whom they are designing, particularly in some of their housing projects, sets them apart from a lot of other firms. also, they seem like kind of a fun place to work (if you can get around the fact that they are located in shenzhen...although i hear they have a beijing office which might be interesting). their office is stacked not only with plots and 3d-renderings but also with models of all scales from the very conceptual to the very slick finalized ones. in any case, i think that some of their work speaks for itself so as ed suggests y'all should go check it out.
I'd like to comment also

urbanus - 'b' = uranus
urbanus - 'b' = uranus
and if, after this, you
and if, after this, you remove the 'ur'...
