Platform for Architecture + Research is committed to advancing the art and science of architecture. Our practice is grounded in architecture’s potential to enhance everyday life and develop socially responsible solutions to complex real-world problems. Established as a platform for exchange within a global context, our research-based approach is fundamentally integrative: mixing analysis, spatial exploration, and pragmatic performance in an effort to realize project aspirations.
