Learning & Conversations

This page gathers the work we do beyond design briefs:
studios, workshops, and situated pedagogy;
public talks and shared conversations;
and the thinking that grows alongside practice.

We are architects and researchers, each engaged in specific fields of inquiry, ranging from housing and heritage-making, to the design of public spaces, the integration of mosques and places of worship into the public realm, as well as the development of nature-based solutions and co-design approaches.
For us, research is not separate from design: it informs projects, sharpens tools, and opens new ways to act.

It’s our way of building an architectural culture that is curious, critical, and grounded in context.

Dwelling, territory & rural transformation

Worskshops & Studios

We develop studio formats that link research, pedagogy and place.
Through field visits, mappings, model-making or collective discussions, we explore how teaching can be hands-on, open-ended and deeply connected to context. Each encounter becomes a space of learning, for students, for us, and for the communities involved.

Rethinking from the Ground

Short field reflections, fragments of inquiry and situated thoughts.
These notes grow out of the places we work with, written along the way, to think through what we see, hear and question.
They extend our work beyond workshops and conversations, and continue in ma+su Fieldnotes.
