R&R STUDIOS creates architecture and artworks that perform as social sculptures and tools for the pursuit of happiness.
We weave together visual arts, architecture, design, landscape and the city. The ambition of our practice is to reclaim, enhance and develop the public dimension of the city. We seek to produce a public architecture that highlights the communal and civic dimension of life and erases boundaries between art and everyday life. We understand our work as experiments in public space, models of possibilities that might imbue the construction of the city with new meaning and emotion.
Our social sculptures, squares, parks, buildings, books, paintings, drawings, photographs, models, installations, objects, furniture and texts are all part of a web of interconnected ideas that feed off and into each other. They propose encounters of stories and spaces, which alternate between the poetical and the political, the quotidian and the fantastic, the real and the utopian, the North and the South. Our aim is to build dreams and thoughts for a better world.
