[ IF- methodologies ]

We aspire towards creating a working method in which collaborations with other people are central. We set-up participatory design methods at different stages in each project allowing the project to grow and evolve in unpredictable dimensions.  To aid the design development we employ contextual “tools of engagement” which are project specific and actively engage our clients and users; seeking their contributions and expertise. These tools take different shapes according to the nature and ambition of the project and their appropriateness is determined by that specific situation – people, site, history, emotional context and politics; In the house design in London it was a postcard, In the school and village design in India it was a series of workshops, in the factories conversions in Athens it is a website and a film engaging people’s minds.

[ Parameter of work ]

As a practice we are engaged and interested in the process and method in which a ”sense of place” is created - how a space is formed, how it adapts and how it lives on and evolves.  We try to expand our scope of engagement outside the traditional remit of an architect as we believe that the construction of the building is only a part of architectural practice.
