Projects
The 21st century will be a century of cities. For the first time, over half of the world’s population will live in cities. A rapid urbanization on this scale raises one clear challenge of how to put the social/cultural and environmental sustainability at the heart of 21st century urbanism and by doing so also at the very centre of city life. The global magnetism of a premier city stems not only from its infrastructure, but from the power and energy it draws from those who live and work in it, and so animate it. |
Place-making for Studio Fink is a challenge of how to expand the existing urban terrain into a landscape of opportunity through the exploration of connectedness and interlinking, a network rather than a hierarchy. In response to the evolution and pace of change within cities and the constant underlying challenge of developing infrastructure ahead of the economic pace Studio Fink fuses art with urban design, landscape architecture , engineering, ecology and environmental design. Working often collaboratively it helps to deliver aspirational and cohesive responses to complex urban and social situations. |
The reclaiming of much of the grey, abandoned and overlooked urban areas is central to many of Studio Fink’s projects. Through the exploration of green urbanism these places often become ‘green’, both literally in an environmental sense and metaphorically as places of new growth and positive change. |
