THE MAKERS

WHO 
ARE 
THEY? 

They Feed off Buildings is a design and architecture collective from Berlin(DE), which specializes in material research, architetcure and design.
The studio works in a core team of inventors and a broad network of collaborators. In their projects they unite a team with an expertise in design, material research, architecture, film and photography. Their performative design installations explore a new perspective on architecture, design and its materiality. 

The project ‘Urban Terrazzo‘, which travels through various cities to explore the utilization of available material from architectural demolition, illustrates one of those experiments. The products developed during those explorations show new possibilities for the contemporary application of sustainable building materials.
