archi.pH.art joins DIVANY
who the £&$% is archi.pH.art ?
archi.pH.art was founded in London in 2007 by two individuals who first meet in 2006 at Will Alsop’s London based office. Those two individuals decided it might be time to work in the field of architecture, philosophy and art without linking one’s personality, gender, pretty or unpretty face to the actual outcome of a collaboration. archi.pH.art is rather a state of mind than an office name or a ”brand”…
what has archi.pH.art done so far..or….how did it start?
archi.pH.art won in September 2007 “Tutti Frutti”, an architecture competition initiated by the UK based developers Urban Splash.
Since then archi.pH.art contiuously expanded, morphed, transformed and can be seen like a continuously changing platform of various collaborations. Works include architectural reflections, pieces for and with musicians, productions of visuals for audio situations, designs of furniture, and guess what…right now we are writing stuff on the DIVANY site…and, basically, we just do and work on things we find interesting, fascinating…all the good stuff surrounding us and trying making the less good things a tiny bit better…it is all about encounter, isn’t it?

In 2007 we designed a house for a 4,5m x 15m plot for a site in Manchester. The competition jury loved it, the client loved it, only his wife decided at some point that she would rather not move to Manchester…guess what? It did not get built (YET..)..
design time line: 3 weeks
archi.pH.art work force: 3 people
sleepless nights during the design process: 2
