Our approach
Knowledge creation through collaboration.
We are keen to bridge the gap between the academia and the market by joining forces with practitioners, design experts and architecture enthusiasts through applied research.
Our process
We develop a toolkit for progressive design thinking.
We use systems thinking to unwrap the multiple dimensions of urban and architectural phenomena, and repackage it to facilitate decision making and strategic planning.
