WE're
WE’re organised in 2013 for the search of catching an in¬novative and progressive way of thinking and mentality in architecture and urbanism with collaborative design practices.
WE’re inspired by all the design disciplines containing multiple scales with the same motivation and always searching for self-challenging processes with the aim of thinking “the new” and “the unique”. That makes the operations in the studio always transparent, collaborative processes rather than a strick hierarchical structure. WE’re thinking that architecture, urbanism and all design disciplines have to be rethought not only with their self dynamics, but also with other social, positive and human sciences.
