- New Investigations in Collective Form presents a group of design experiments by the design-research office THE OPEN WORKSHOP
- Testing how architecture can empower the diverse voices that make up the public realm and the environments in which they exist
New Investigations in Collective Form presents a group of design experiments by the design-research office THE OPEN WORKSHOP, that test how architecture can empower the diverse voices that make up the public realm and the environments in which they exist. Today, society continues to face urban challenges ― from economic inequality to a progressively fragile natural environment ― that, in order to be addressed, require us to come together in a moment when what we collectively value is increasingly difficult to locate.
Organised into five themes for producing collectively ― Frameworks, Articulated Surfaces, the Living Archive, Re-Wiring States, and Commoning ― the projects straddle the fine line between the individual and collective, informal, and formal, choice and control, impermanent and permanent.

About the Author
THE OPEN WORKSHOP is an architectural urbanism practice that focuses on the relationship between form and collectivity. Specifically, the firm is interested in the agency of form to impact political, economic, and ecological systems. Using a transcalar approach to design research, the office straddles a complex line between permanence and ephemerality, control and choice, legibility and illegibility, the individual and the collective, determinacy and indeterminacy, the figure and the field. The office name, THE OPEN WORKSHOP, is a reference to Umberto Eco’s 1962 treatise The Open Work. The office is dedicated to evolving Eco’s concept into architecture by expanding the subject to include the pluralistic public realm and transforming environmental context. Select distinctions include the Canadian Prix de Rome (2019), honourable mention for The Architect’s Newspaper Young Architects Award (2018), the Architectural League Young Architects Prize (2016), as well as the Emerging Leaders Award from Design Intelligence (2016).
