IwamotoScott Architecture is a San Francisco-based architecture and design practice led by Lisa Iwamoto and Craig Scott. rnrnAs a practice committed to pursuing architecture as a form of applied design research, ISAr engages in projects at multiple scales and in a variety of contexts. These include full-scale fabrications, museum installations and exhibitions, theoretical proposals, design competitions and commissions. Each project is treated as a unique opportunity to achieve outstanding design quality regardless of project scope or scale. rnrnOur design approach proceeds from in-depth research coupled with creative experimentation. Responses to project circumstances and client requirements are directed along multiple lines of inquiry, where generative concepts are tested through speculative form-finding and iterative modeling in both physical and digital media. rnrnThe work of ISAr centers on amplifying the perceptual performance of architecture, establishing strong environmental and site relationships, and pursuing innovation in use of material and configuration of space. Ultimately, the work aims to produce an experiential synthesis of formal affect and spatial effect, while balancing specificities of context, economies of construction, particulars of program and desires of the client.
