AuWOKRSHOP (HU)

Architecture Uncomfortable Workshop is a Budapest-based workshop and office, where, alongside the continuous design of small and medium scale projects, we are always seeking opportunities for experimentation. Our main motivation is to understand the tension between planning and building methods and try to approach them in alternative ways. We are constantly looking for situations in which the comfort generated by architecture corresponds to people's real needs. The name of the office refers to the discomforts that arise from the processes of designing and constructing spaces used by people. In addition to teaching, leading workshops, designing and constructing houses, furniture, objects, and small artistic installations, we have also been working for many years on creating single-person spaces, and exhibitions on different specific topics as well.

A PART OF SUM (DK)
A part of Sum (Ap S) is a study of everyday life, its nature and rituals through architectural experiments. It is a play with what is considered ordinary and how this can be made special in its either subtle or exaggerated reflection of its context. Our study always takes as its starting point what already exists: existing buildings and local culture. We believe that healthy houses can actually be repaired and that building parts can live on in other buildings. Therefore, we strive to refine recycled materials, to create architectural coherence and create space for the diversity, fragility, celebration and seriousness that life should facilitate. Designing and building resource-reducing solutions is a natural part of our work, perhaps our generation. We do it with a playful commitment that celebrates everyday life and the small details (part) that enrich the great whole (sum). A part of Sum is based in Copenhagen and owned by Philip Lütken, Emilie Boye Kjær, Laurids Bager & Christian Schmidt.
