PROFILE WHAT IF: projects Ltd builds upon what‘s happening on the ground. We consider the qualities of existing conditions that may begin to unlock resources that reduce dependency, enabling people to find new ways of doing, thinking and relating in response to everyday issues. In our architectural practice and as lecturers we develop strategies at an urban scale and start to TEST these through small-scale interventions. We are researching VOID spaces and the opportunities these spaces of uncertainty could offer to a neighbourhood, a city and beyond.
