It reimagines the logic behind urgent spatial conditions—such as domesticity, mobility, and interface—not to solve these systems, but to recompose them through speculative methods and research-driven design. Rē’s work also attends to global spatial entanglements and post-anthropocentric modes of dwelling, tracing how design mediates our relationships with the planet and its more-than-human inhabitants. Working at the intersection of systems thinking and political theory, Rē explores how architecture might interrogate, invert, or bypass the forces that shape it, rather than merely materialize them. Its speculative frameworks hold space for critical questions and generate conceptual tools for institutional and civic reflection. The practice begins with unraveling to ask what might emerge when familiar orders are undone. Rē crafts proposals that are intentionally unreal—not as escapist fictions, but as research prompts to surface what has been excluded from the realm of the possible and to reveal the spatial consequences of normalized decisions. Its work takes the form of speculative design proposals, narrative environments, spatial constructs, conceptual prototypes, and collaborative inquiry, treating architecture as a site for questions, reflection, and dialogue.
The name Rē signals the studio’s ethos of experimentation and iteration: to do again, return, revise, and repeat. Each project begins with a prefix—an entry point, a conceptual fracture in reality that opens space for reimagining and rethinking design’s role as inquiry.
