Architensions
Architensions (ATE) is an international architectural design studio operating as an agency of research led by Alessandro Orsini and Nick Roseboro and based in New York & Rome. The studio looks at architecture and design with a perspective rooted in site-specificity to envision modes of collective engagement, living, and cultural production. Architensions works at the intersection of theory, practice, and academia, focusing on architecture as a network condition in dialogue with the political and social context to create new possibilities for the contemporary city.

Bruna Canepa is an artist-architect based in São Paulo, Brazil, where she graduated Escola da Cidade (2013) and is currently developing her master’s degree research An Archeology of Drawing in the History of Architecture and Urbanism program at FAUUSP–University of São Paulo. Canepa co-founded Miniatura (2010-2014) and collaborates regularly with architecture practices from her hometown São Paulo. Since 2007 Canepa has been participating in solo and collective exhibitions in Brazil and abroad.

Young & Ayata
Young & Ayata formed as a partnership in New York in 2008. The practice is dedicated to building commissions, exploratory mediations, and published arguments where the reality of the contemporary environment is engaged as a provocation for experiments in form, material, and imagery. Young & Ayata have received the Progressive Architecture Award, Design Vanguard Award, Young Architects Prize, AIA Honor Award, and a first-place prize for the design of the Bauhaus Museum in Dessau, Germany. Michael Young is an Assistant Professor at The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at the Cooper Union.
