Directed by Andrija Stojic, the Buildings Workshop navigates the complex requirements of highly varied projects in multiple different countries – while preserving our unique position as a light-footed, medium-sized practice.
Andrija also spearheads our innovations program, developing new research into materials and techniques with a particular focus on sustainability.
