Aoife Donnelly & Kristin Trommler are registered architects and educators, based in London. Their research and practice focus on the generation of sensitive and carefully composed projects, that engage with questions around the democracy of place or space and value the experience of the user. They seek solutions that resonate with cultural, historical and physical contexts and that try to simultaneously be inventive, playful, structurally and materially considered, and moving. Together, Donnelly and Trommler have a broad experience of the public realm, arts/ cultural and educational projects.

There, they have introduced and embedded an enabling culture of live projects, engaged in collaborative and participatory design processes, that serve community/ arts and play situations.
