Profile

Emery & Saito is a multidisciplinary studio based in London and Tokyo, whose works form an evolving constellation of architecture, film, installation, and pedagogical projects. Grounded in an ongoing inquiry into aesthetics, the studio critically explores the complex interplay between human and non-human agency - Fauna, flora, fiction, gravity, liquid, mist, sound, sunlight, symbol, time, temperature, tool, weather, water, wind, dust, darkness, and dew… Through a committed engagement with a broader network of relations, the studio aspires to a deeper sense of ecological conciliation.
