fabric | ch - studio for architecture, interaction & research

Combining practice-based research, exhibition and production, fabric | ch creates architectural devices and thought processes that articulate singular livable spaces. Their work operates across localized and distributed landscapes, algorithmic processing, environmental conditions, and technological protocols.

Since the foundation of the collective, architects and scientists at fabric | ch have investigated the nature of contemporary space through its entanglements with information technologies. From spatial computing milieux and hybrid worldbuilding to algorithmic recombination of locations, temporalities and dimensions derived from environmental sensing, the studio reexamines how spatial experience is assembled, mediated, and lived.

The work of fabric | ch, experimental in nature, engages in a reflexive manner with the interfacing of our relationship to place and distance, as well as automated climatic, informational, and energy exchanges. It probes mobility and planetary computation from a post-critical stance articulated by spatial interbreeding, digital materialism, arts intelligence and sustainability.

fabric | ch is currently composed of Christian Babski, Stéphane Carion, Christophe Guignard and Patrick Keller (cofounders of the collective), Keumok Kim and Michael Chablais.
