Tsikoliya / Janků Studio

Our

approach:

“Environmental, social and technological changes have always been a source for design innovation in architecture. Today, technological innovation across multiple disciplines suggests that architectural design is no longer limited to the distribution of program, but instead becomes an intense process of materialisation of the physical. On the other hand, social and environmental crises are encouraging us to rethink the potential and the role of today’s architects and designers. The studio course focuses on architectural design across various scales and draws particular attention to the problems of materiality and materialisation. The focus on behaviour and performance as well as form and program changes our approach to architecture. New social and environmental challenges require architectural production to be multifaceted and complex. The understanding of the context and inspiration of the local technological tradition; as well as thinking in global terms; and adaptation to innovative technologies are applied to various scales of architectural design from the concept design to the details and tectonics.
