tactile architecture – office für systemarchitektur
understanding architecture, urban design and material as system…
let’s work with you
Tactile Architecture is a research and design firm. The work draws from engages with changing typologies and design strategies for architecture and urban design in an age of human-machine-collaboration, the digital, the analog and material. We engage with small projects as well as joining the global conversation on how to build and design in an increasingly complex world. We are working towards a high standard in sustainability, design principles, innovation, material choice and fabrication. Special interest lies in convergence of architecture, technology, biology and cybernetic principles. The office was founded by Liss C. Werner in 2010. .
