Innovation is very much needed in every field as standard practice becomes obsolete or unable to offer the proper answers. But challenging the status quo is not necessarily an easy task. In this session, Debora will explain how her firm Ensamble Studio pushes the boundaries of Architecture from different fronts, using ingenuity and discovering untapped opportunities in the contexts they interact with. Through several examples, Debora will reflect on how architecture can serve to expand, question, and overcome the norm; moving away from conventions and established methods to explore spatial, material, technological, and typological potentialities.
