about

What we think:
By thinking about the strategic urban design of the city and understanding the resources within communities, the city can become more adaptive, resilient, egalitarian and coherent.
What we do:
We consider global imperatives and local issues together. We explore their interconnection and consequence of each on the other. In Bruno Latour's terms, ‘critical attention is shifted from architecture as a matter of fact to architecture as a matter of concern.’
In CITYzen Agency the student is the citizen architect, the protagonist and agent? We consider other ways of doing architecture. This means we engage in ‘live projects’ with our in house architectural practice Project Office.
In CITYzen Agency student agents make, test and refine through the ‘live project’ and design studio prototyping.
