KNOWSPACE was founded by Erhard An-He Kinzelbach and has since functioned as a studio for practice and research on architecture and cities.

KNOWSPACE is concerned with spatial and programmatic organisations that combine local differentiation with overall coherence. Its objective is to identify synergies between practice, design research and teaching and to proliferate them as sources of knowledge, The organization of this knowledge serves as the foundation for the conceptual engagement with spatial and programmatic complexity, and the making of space, material and form – both at the scale of the building as well as the city.

KNOWSPACE understands its role as that of a moderator and organizer of the complex interactions between cultural, political, economic and material forces and the multiple agents that determine a project. In this sense, we act rather as competent trans-disciplinary mediators than as narrowly specialized experts.
