Daria
Shipukhina earned a Bachelor of Architecture from Moscow Architectural
University, Russia and Stavroula Papafotiou obtained March of Architecrture in
Patras University, Greece. They have formed SPeeD Studio both attending March
Urban Design in Bartlett School of Architecture in 2009 in London, UK. Closely
paralleled one another in several projects, they have developed their interest
in tactile design approach and its implementation in architectural build
forms. They believe in
the merging of form-content-context, in the authentic human experience, and the
ability of architecture to preserve, transform, and intensify the essential
qualities of each and every site. For them each project is a new invitation to
creative interpretation, critical drawing, precise strategies and invention.
SPeeeD’s commitment of articulation through critical
experimental approach is a common thread through all their projects. Their formal manner grounded in urban design
has progressed to specific architectural forms that give potential for future
events and occupation of the space that evolve over time.
They
are currently working on infrastructure projects, masterplanning and
architectural competitions. You can contact them on speedstudio.uk@googlemail.com.
