Research and Sufficiency
Research
Research driving architecture. Through our involvement in scientific research and by initiating our own research projects, we want to expand knowledge and advance an innovative design approach. Since the start of Archipelago, we have invested in a research team of ca. 15 collaborators working across the fields of design, sustainability, wellbeing and digital technology, producing award-winning studies and leading our projects to the forefront of sustainable architecture.
