Andersson / Wise

Andersson / Wise works in architecture, planning, and interiors for public, educational, religious, residential, and hospitality programs. The relationship between program, layout, and context is central when considering services of this kind: spatial decisions need to respond to planned activities, site characteristics, and the needs of people using the facilities.

Its approach starts with collaboration to develop solutions suited to the purpose of each building. Camp Teton and Campsite at Shield Ranch provide references for exploring relationships between occupation, collective activities, and the particular conditions of a landscape. Reviewing references by program and context helps identify which aspects of the practice can respond to the priorities of a particular assignment and its intended users.

This profile can assist owners, institutions, and developers comparing design practices. An initial discussion becomes more useful when it includes activity requirements, site or property conditions, and priorities for use, allowing responsibilities and deliverables to be defined clearly for the particular assignment under consideration.
