Current Interests is an architecture and design studio dedicated to the social, spatial, and material liveliness of architecture. Founded by Matthew Au and Mira Henry, Current Interests draws on the deep knowledge each brings to the partnership. Together, Au and Henry have designed and constructed a wide range of complex building programs, including public cultural projects, residences, commercial spaces, and museum exhibitions.

As creative collaboration, Au and Henry’s work straddles important lines in the field and has been published, exhibited, and recognized internationally. In 2023 Au and Henry authored the book Gathering: Ongoing Work by Current Interests, published by Princeton School of Architecture Press. Most recently, Current Interests received Architectural Record’s 2025 Design Vanguard Award.

Matthew Au is the co-principal of Current Interests with over fifteen years of experience. His professional expertise is in design with an emphasis on fabrication, custom software development, complex building systems, and architectural installations. Matthew is a member of the design faculty at Southern California Institute for Architecture (SCI-Arc) and has had visiting appointments at Princeton University and Harvard Graduate School of Design.
