PEOPLE Rekha Auguste-Nelson (b. Philadelphia, USA, 1991); Farnoosh Rafaie (b. Los Angeles, USA, 1988); Isabel Strauss (b. Chicago, USA, 1990)

This studio was established in 2021, born out of what its members call a ‘riff’ – a free meeting space to work on designing buildings, researching history and teaching architecture. From the dialogue between these skills, a reflection on the complex function of architecture in contemporary society emerges: one which is clearly laid out in the important design project presented in Chicago: Architecture of Reparations.
