Research Lab

We explore spatial relationships and design decisions through computational methods. Here we share explanatory drawings, working notes and plans for the next experiment.

An illustrative atlas of domestic floor plans with different outlines, courtyards and room arrangements.

Experiment design

Housing Typology Atlas

What can the relationships inside a home tell us about the place it belongs to?
