    This as that

    This as That is a photographic study of appropriation in design. The study celebrates the imaginative and improvisational ways in which people reimagine and repurpose everyday activities and objects.

All research

We maintain an ongoing programme of study and self-directed projects, exploring questions that sit adjacent to and often inform our wider practice. This section brings together those investigations. Recent threads of enquiry have centred on ecological thinking, the material and conceptual possibilities of reuse, and the increasingly connected relationship between digital and physical environments. These investigations take many forms, from written pieces and visual experiments to prototypes and small publications. We see this research as essential to how the studio evolves. A space to test ideas, build new vocabularies, and consider how design might respond to the conditions of the present.
