What is the Office for Presencing Architecture about?

The Office for Presencing Architecture is centred on evolving how we prepare environments that presences architecture. What would the ubiquitous presence of architecture mean for our lives and for our responsibility to the world and the welfare of life on earth? How does this stem from human consciousness and its purpose?

The Office for Presencing Architecture combines

stewardship of the world and how to integrate that in our responsibility,

architecture’s original ground, and its sibling twin – spirituality,

architecture as practice and as profession.

This Office is a project toward developing communication and a community around making environments. You should subscribe if you are interested in developing community around this body of issues.

The areas are foreseen so far are writing that Introduces approaches and topics.
