StudioNova Architects was established in 2003. The practice is involved in contemporary architecture, urbanism and cultural theory. Digital technology is adopted as a tool for establishing new formal languages. Experimentation and writings on contemporary design methods, processes and fabrication techniques, as well as advanced use of digital media are adopted for the design of small and large projects. The work addresses the contemporary “city,” especially as it is evolving in the 21st century.
