Archi8

Archi8 wants to be a verb rather than a noun: an act of exploring, learning, thinking, and making. Sometimes it is making space to think; sometimes it is thinking to make space. This act can be individual or collective. Despite its name, Archi8 is unbound by the conventions and assumptions attached to the word “architecture.” Archi∞ takes on new shapes through doing, without a final form to reach. Creation is not its aim, yet new possibilities will inevitably be created through motion. Archi8(ing) might mean being in and exploring a space by listening, seeing, touching, smelling, cooking a simple meal in the kitchen, or reading a text. It might also mean creating space through writing, drawing, or conversing about a book or a movie.
