SELF-BUILD

An informal, self-organised group of people, systems or information who join forces for a specific or open ended common goal, setting up their own rules and agreements, and creating a more complex movement or system as a result. Architects are by principle left out of this realm. Once how to build has been lost from common knowledge, can architects help others build what they need? What can architects learn from the innate human ability of building?

Search questions

As a consequence of our search as architects, we also produce understanding and knowledge made of words -written and spoken. This search revolves around twelve constant themes, questions we don’t have a definitive answer to yet. This knowledge is not just a by-product of our activity, but rather an instrumental part that develops simultaneously and is imbricated in building. Search Questions is our sisyphean effort to organize and share this knowledge while it's blossoming, fragile and unstable. By doing so, a more specific understanding, and more refined questions emerge.
