Something Together is a creative practice based in Naarm / Melbourne focused on curatorial projects that ask questions of design’s role in the world today and its agency in responding to the issues that shape contemporary life.
At the core of March Studio’s practice is a commitment to making. Each project interrogates new ways to experiment with form, materiality and craftmanship through digital and traditional means. Prolific, ambitious, diverse, and dedicated to investigation, testing and prototyping, March Studio continues to push the boundaries in exploring what is possible to achieve. Opportunities to design and build high-impact retail stores, interiors, installations and exhibitions, housing and, more recently, cultural, and urban realm projects have resulted in a diversity of architectural production. Always present is an incisive wit and delight in the crafting of architecture that resonate with clients, and the communities who experience these spaces. The book provides readers with a compelling 'behind-the-scenes' view into the design process and dynamic culture of the studio.
March Studio: Making Architecture, Material & Process is the third publication in the Editions: Australian Architecture Monographs series that celebrates the work of RMIT School of Architecture & Urban Design alumni and is a partnership with Thames & Hudson Australia.
