Matters of Concern
Once an architectural practice has divorced itself from the strictures of the normative service-to-client driven professional model, the question of motivation becomes paramount. An architectural practice may very well be alternative, making use of collaborative networks, leveraging institutional affiliations, and finding unusual funding mechanisms—but to what end? Believing that the time has come for a serious re-engagement on the part of architects with the critical forces that will shape our human future, we have defined three Matters of Concern that both motivate our practice and influence the methods by which we work: Future Ecologies, Situated Infrastructures, and Emerging Inhabitations.
