OOZE Architects

OOZE architects is an international design practice based in Rotterdam, operating between the fields of art, architecture and urbanism. Their work explores how our lives and cities can be more synchronized with nature, and combines an elaborate understanding of natural, ecological processes with technological expertise and deep insights into socio-cultural behavior. Systems-thinking defines their approach, and their work demonstrates an ability to uncover and understand multidisciplinary connections. Each project, whether an art installation, building, public space or urban strategy aims to create experience and drive change. OOZE has received several awards, including the 2017 Landscape Institute Award (UK) and the LafargeHolcim Award Bronze 2017 Latin America. Their work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennial (2009), Studio-X, Rio de Janeiro (2014 & 2016), the Sitio Roberto Burle Marx (2016) and the Sao Paulo Architecture Biennial (2017). OOZE is currently working on the Atelier LUMA project with the LUMA Foundation in Arles.
