Officially founded in 2015, ARCH[or]studio is an anti-office whose work spans architecture and product design concepts, as well as conceptual art projects which probe the intersection of design, ecology, and psychology. A[o]s intentionally operates simultaneously within conflicting realms, such as that of the natural and the artificial, the comforting and the obscene, and the ordinary and the uncanny.

A post-humanist with one hand caught in the door of ecology and the other in the trap of “progress,” sometimes we make obscene gestures in the anthropocene while we scream into the depths of the holocene, other times we have a little fun. Residing at the core of the work is a deep interest in probing historical, cultural and contemporary understandings of the architectural edifice; the tools, prosthetics and devices used to mediate between human beings and the outside world; and augmentations to the human body itself to discover new potentialities in human-spatial-technological and -ecological relationships.

We use AI to enhance, and sometimes bypass, our traditional training as an architect and the deeply ingrained habits and tenets that accompany such an education - form and order become deformed and disordered, clarity and purity become cloudy and messy.
