research

   

Our approach is mainly grounded in academic design based research, with a focus on the development of architecture and urban design. Research problems are approached from three interconnected directions; what there is, has been, and what could be. We believe that the architect’s role is to imagine and see through and beyond what already exist. This should always be done with the respect towards the existing, which can still inspire and holds meaning for people’s lives.
