O’A is a collaborative practice in constant alteration.
It operates at the intersection of spatial experimentation and systemic inquiry, exploring how architecture responds to shifting ecological and technological conditions. Its research unfolds through the development of experimental prototypes—supported by exploratory methods, analytical investigations, and in-depth study. O’A’s research practice examines notions of comfort at the intersection of architecture, technology, and art. Through this lens, it seeks to reveal the hidden and parallel realities that shape our time. O’A operates at the intersection of theory and practice – both independently and collaboratively.
