Baracco+Wright Architects
Together with Louise Wright, the other director of Baracco+Wright Architects, they are interested in a role for architecture that can extend its relationship with the natural world towards one that considers all life. They build, unbuild, rearrange and support buildings and living things. Recently they have been researching the role of reuse and removal of built form in the reimagining of the city. Their work – projects, lectures/presentations, books and publications – is extensively profiled through exhibitions, publications and media platforms.
