Studio NāV

studio nāv was founded in 2013 by Carl Fransson and Thomas Paltiel. studio nāv is recognised as a spatial practice investigating architecture from the basis of its formal, material and social premises. Rooted within aesthetic theory and design history, projects are often initiated by an extensive period of research before entering into a phase of formal composition and design. Each undertaking is formulated according to a clear framework from which the production and negotiation of architecture can be exercised, often in collaboration with other thinkers. In contrast to a more traditional understanding of collaboration this process is not appreciated in terms of consensus, but rather as a method to generate spaces of ‘unitary multiplicity’. studio nāv grows out of an interdisciplinary tradition and has predominantly figured within the arts.
