Essay
There is a category of building that holds something back — that refuses to fully explain itself. We argue that this quality of productive ambiguity is among the highest achievements in the discipline.
Field notes
A return to Fehn's Hamar Museum, ten years later, and what has changed in the intervening decade — in the building, and in us.
Practice
Why we still begin every project with pencil on paper — and why we believe computational tools are most powerful when they follow, not precede, drawing.
Landscape
How we approached the public realm around our cultural centre commission — treating the ground plane as an architectural element equal to any wall or roof.
Material
Against the grain of current opinion, we make the case for béton brut as one of architecture's most humane and enduring materials — when used honestly.
Opinion
A critical look at contemporary architectural education — what is taught, what is ignored, and what the profession is consequently missing in its next generation.
Interview
We sit down with the Zurich architect whose influence on our practice has been profound — to discuss proportion, craft, and the discipline of saying no.
