Space&matter is an Amsterdam based architecture and planning office with an ambition to add relevance to spatial design. As architecture and planning touch on all social and cultural levels of society, we think our responsibility embodies more than the mere design of space. With an open mind we look beyond the conventional scope of our discipline to find and create cross-links between physical space and sociocultural processes. Not the design itself but its effect on these processes is our main objective.
With our backgrounds in urbanism, architecture, research, social media and Building Information Modeling (BIM), our team has a wide angled view on the world and a strong set of skills that backs up our creative thinking. The diversity of our experiences, results in a holistic approach that encompasses all relevant levels of scale. It leads up to a cross-medial output, that ranges from performances and thoughts in texts, to interiors, buildings and urban-strategies.
Our keen interest in contemporary culture is the common denominator in our office. It keeps us well connected to the 'now' and the 'then', and enables us to come up with adequate and effective solutions for present-day as well as future problems.
