TO DEVELOP AND GAIN CERTAINTY

Most of the time, Architects use models to explore ideas, develop and understand the design and to communicate the product to the client.

TO MAINTAIN OPENNESS AND PLAYFULNESS

Sometimes however, we use models to open up, invite and maintain exploration up to the moment of completion – and beyond.

TO PROVOKE AND SPECULATE

Through concept models we invite others to imagine and speculate, to collaborate. The models are facilitators for conversation. The speculation is used to extend the brief.

Ambiguity unlocks us from what we know and allows everybody to imagine and project.

TO INVITE

Through concept models we develop a spatial response and play sequences, speculating about materiality and details. The models invite other collaborators to contribute to the exploration. Recycled materials, the shape of trees sourced, three dimensional clashes and call for collaborative solutions, which further evolve the structures whilst on site.

TO LEARN AND EXPLORE

Workshops with children invite to explore through models and equip with knowledge to contribute, make and change the site beyond our involvement.
