The research project focuses on the DEGW archive, capturing the first 25 years of the work of the spatial and architectural consultancy DEGW. The research mobilises the concept of a ‘living archive’ through curatorial methodology. The archive is continuously enriched by curating exhibitions and events, often crafted in collaboration with members of the DEGW diaspora. The exhibitions and events create space to reflect on current issues relating to the design and research of the built environment in light of the lessons learnt from the archive.
