CAN (Critical Architecture Network) is an award-winning architecture studio that designs buildings, environments and installations.
We work with set designers, artists, engineers and makers to create unexpected and characterful projects. We begin every project with a rigorous analysis of it's cultural and physical context and a scrutiny of the brief. This collaborative and research based approach has resulted in an ever-growing portfolio of unique projects at a range of scales.
We believe that architecture can and should make the city a more joyful, inclusive and exciting place to live and work.
