Our work is constituted in such zones of between-ness - this third space - that holds us and the objects and spaces that we are observing. It is a surface of affect in which images, objects, and their observation are bound together in a continuous, performative dialogue that mediates their understanding and their role in the design process and its varied outputs. Even now, each one of the objects and images that constitute our studio work is looking back at us when we glance around our studio, filling the space with echoes of seeing that influence our ongoing design practices. Thus the space of our practice does not really exist in the material make-up of the walls, the floor, or surfaces of the studio, nor exclusively in the spaces of the images and scale models, digital representations and collages that our students and we have produced. The space of our practice exists between all these things and ourselves, and is visible only in fleeting, performed moments of understanding. Each understanding is, even if subtly, different. And from a continued process of observing, rereading, and communicating our work (and the work of our students), a studio practice emerges which is constantly transforming within the third space of our studio, a hyper-context of infinite potential in which we are always engaged with our projects. We are part of them and they are part of us.
