is a Vienna based practice for architecture, design and research. The studio is committed to the reciprocal relation between today’s  provocative and innovative spatial speculations and its manifestation into tangible, efficient, and logical matter. A platform for conceptual and strategic thinking devoted to contemporary cultural, natural, and technological challenges and its transportation into spatial qualities. Design-related philosophical approaches, speculative aesthetics, forms of complexity, error-based techniques, curiosity, surprises, or indeterminations represent an interest for generating off-center architectural discourses and results capable of unfolding and accommodating the unpredictable.
