ABOUT

The twin crises of climate breakdown and biodiversity loss are the most serious issue of our time. As architects, we must discover new design processes in response to these contemporary challenges, broadening our set of tools with which to engage with design projects. We are interested in exploring how architectural design proposals contribute to a wider ecology, species, energy and carbon flows to become truly regenerative.

 

By creatively tackling both architectural and planetary limits, we will examine architecture’s agency in shaping new forms of environmental and civic imagination, promoting resilient urban landscapes and communities and creating new cultural memories.
