Bex Browne

I am an architect currently based in Aarhus, Denmark, where I recently completed my master studies in the sustainability studio, Material Matters, at Aarhus School of Architecture.
Through my work I explore materials from landscape to built form, where the process driven projects aim to explore ways of designing in the midst of the climate crises. At a time where existing practices and material palettes should be critically challenged, the research based projects aspire to imagine alternative scenarios that consider entanglements across scales, times and perspectives as methods to discover ways of designing with responsibility and within ecological frameworks. This website acts as an archive of recent projects.

Material Explorations

Making and learning though doing has always been a part of my practice, where the materials often lead the process. I am eager to continue questioning architecture though explorative material testing, that become tangible outputs for methods of entangled thinking. Where the approach to the material is transcalar, from multiple perspectives and critically questions the current extractive approach to building we have today. I have previously taken part in a summer school in rural Slovakia exploring traditional craft techniques from sewing to building, as well as a masterclass with members from Assemble Studio at Delft University, investigating the industrial vernacular.
