Gianni Botsford Architects : People : Gianni Botsford

We aim to create an architecture of local adaptation; to climate,
environment and culture.

Our approach is to attempt to avoid falling into preconceived solutions to design problems through a process of detailed analysis of site and brief prior to any design phase, and have experience in many sectors and at all scales - from master planning to product design. Working with an extensive range of consultants, teaching, and collaborations with architects, craftsmen and artists, all enrich the outlook of the studio.

He was appointed AA Research Fellow in 1997, and taught with Mark Hemel and Denis Balent at the AA in 2000-2002.

Ongoing research work into Optimisation and computationally generated solar form with Arup in the UK, and Dr Patrick Janssen at Hong Kong Polytechnic University informs the work of the practice and collaborations with Urban Future Organisation in Europe and Morphogenesis Architecture Studio in India allow larger scale preoccupations to be followed.
