In the early 2010s, fresh out of university, we visited construction sites. Seeing the lack of respect for construction workers, we thought: 'Why not give them a voice?’ That’s how our Fair Building project ended up at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale.
That project shaped our architectural practice. It made us realize what we want to do: use design to empower the overlooked—people, nature, and social issues.
