FAR frohn&rojas is a networked architectural design and research practice. The office’s name acknowledges its geographically distributed anatomy as well as its increasingly widened professional scope that shapes its work. With its distributed setup, the office adopts corporate models of global presence and distribution as its own effective means of production. This is not a production based on rapid output or cost-cutting, but rather on establishing a more diversified architectural production. In this way, the inherent contradictions between geographies and the stretching of disciplinary boundaries allow formerly undeterminable links to thrive. The practice’s self-reflection on its anatomy hints at one of the crucial interests in its work: the underlying “deep structures” at play in each project, including the legal and financial constraints, desires, power structures, and technological, ecological, material, and institutional frameworks that shape the built environment.
