We’re an interdisciplinary studio. We’ve studied art and technology, science and architecture, museology and urban planning. We’ve explored history. Local history. American history. World history. History through art and artifacts. History through design and landscape and language. History through the stories of the people that have passed through the places and spaces we build and inhabit.
