BKK Architects

EXHIBITION COMPLETE

100 Models exhibition by BKK Architects celebrates new modes of digital thinking; a creative process made possible through the arrival of affordable and accessible 3D printing. 100 ideas are frozen in physical form as unpolished experiments, provocations, and follies, drawn from an eclectic mix of influences: culture, technology, science, philosophy, politics and urban form. Processed by the network of thinking within a practice, these 100 ideas overlap in a unique expression of collective design intelligence.

BKK is delighted to announce that George Huon has been made a Principal of the practice. George has worked tirelessly over 13 years in all areas of Architecture and Urban Design at the practice. He has always been a vital part of the studio culture and has contributed significantly to the management of the practice, helping to develop BKK into the recognised design studio it is today.  He will continue his role in design, project delivery and client focus, as well as ongoing strategic and practice development related roles.
