atelier d'architecture et d'urbanisme anastas // www.aauanastas.com Thinking of a project as a process is the only common thread running through our work.

Founded in 1979, AAU Anastas is a wholly owned Palestinian architectural and engineering practice with offices in Bethlehem and in Paris. Beginning the thinking of a project at the opposite end of the planning spectrum, from the bottom up, helps us merge into the deep understanding of local know-hows, and capacities of widening or subverting the initial end result to new uses. We consider the process as a means of minimizing energy consumption between design and realization. Working directly with factories and artisans enables to optimize the energy consumption in function of the resources available and the ambitions. We believe that sustainability is no excuse for sacrifices. Instead, research is synonym of ambition for a more sustainable, more comfortable, and more interactive design.

For Mothanna Hussein’s exhibition at Wonder Cabinet, we developed a scenographic system that suspends the works from a continuous moving rail—turning display into choreography.

Open until September 3.
