Research & visual archive
Arts and Cultures
International arts and cultures in architecture
A world map painted in the pigments each region actually builds with — an ongoing archive of how local art traditions end up as architectural decisions.
The archive collects ornament, colour and craft technique by region, then traces each one forward into the buildings it produced. It serves as the reference layer for the studio's design work.
Published as a visual atlas: plates, notes and a searchable index, in Arabic and English.
