Exploring the future of architecture and cities

"Our challenge lies in devising pioneering strategies within the context of a digitised society amidst the Fourth Industrial Revolution (AI, IoT, Big Data, etc.), aiming to create aesthetically compelling, socially pertinent, and economically viable spaces in this new paradigm."

Sonja Berthold, principal and founder


Building on Sonja’s and Dietmar’s research at the Future Cities Laboratory (ETH Zurich and Singapore) and The Berlage Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture and Urban Design (Delft and Rotterdam), our studio’s Research Lab is currently engaged in numerous global projects, spanning every scale of intervention - from industrial design to installations, architecture, and urban design.

Our Research Lab is an independent, interactive, and highly engaged laboratory that strives to be as experimental as possible, working towards the future of architecture and cities by developing evidence-based ideas.
