Just as many soon-to-be-parents hit a sudden period of ‘nesting’ before the stork’s arrival, those on the other end of the child-rearing timeline experience an opposing feeling of grief

Part of the Venice Architecture Biennale, Shiftspace has designed a twisted arch clad in cascading porcelain tiles. 'OSTREA' draws inspiration from the oyster-lined walls of Venetian canals and their filtration capabilities. Over 300 hand-glazed tiles wrap the delicate wood and aluminum screen to create a physical and metaphorical filter. As a habitable public sculpture, the portal juxtaposes hard angles with soft forms creating ephemeral mosaics of filtered light.

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.
