aberrant architecture is a multi-disciplinary studio and think-tank that operates internationally in the fields of architecture, art, design and cultural analysis. From our studio in London, we strive to capture the best of the past and the contemporary in order to shape the future of the designed world.
We have established a reputation for our playful, provocative and interactive projects that use architecture and design to introduce new and unexpected ways of experiencing the world, winning D&AD and Design Week awards for our work in 2012 and 2013.
We work with public space, buildings, and interiors, public art, furniture, books, graphics, events, installations and exhibitions, regularly collaborate with local community groups and other design professionals and place people at the heart of everything we design.
Operating simultaneously as a think tank, we identify, question and research relevant issues in contemporary society in order to look beyond ‘building a building’ and to establish ourselves as problem solvers as well as designers.
In 2010 we were architecture residents at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and in the same year we co-founded The Gopher Hole, a gallery/venue in London, which through a public exhibition and talks programme provides a platform for critical debate on the arts and society. In 2012 we were selected to exhibit in the British Pavilion at the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale.
Recently completed projects include: ‘The Small Coal Man’s Tiny Travelling Theatre’ a mobile theatre, towed by a Camper Van, toured the streets of London during Clerkenwell Design Week (2012). ‘Devil Amongst the Tailors’ a rethink of the British ‘Pub’ table for the Wallpaper* magazine Handmade exhibition at the Milan Furniture Fair (2012). The Social Playground, a giant interactive landscape, built in collaboration with local community groups, for the ‘Knowledge Lives Everywhere’ exhibition at FACT (2011) and The Gopher Hole, a small exhibition venue, project space and performance area, in the Shoreditch area of east London
