Research acts as one
of the key sources of lifeblood for the practice.
Aire Design has active links with the academic world, the institutional research
environment that has followed Rio de Janeiro, Kyoto and Johannesburg, and
we maintain detailed profiles of best practice projects in both the UK and
on Continental Europe, updated on a quarterly basis. These profiled projects
relate both to Urban Design and Architecture, often with new forms of innovative
housing at their core. Architectural research is also conducted by collaboration
with artistic and technical colleagues and by the act of drawing, and thereby
the 'discovering' of new spatial formulations.
The link therefore between research and practice is close and innovation becomes
a daily 'negotiation' between what is technically possible (research) and
what is commercially possible (the project). By working on the advancement
in the quality of this 'negotiation', client's projects can be part of the
national and international agenda to develop a meaningful world.
