FAR frohn&rojas
“The projects and buildings of this young office are not characterized by the superficial haste of a globalized architect, but instead show profound souveranity and clarity in both their concept as well as realization.”
FAR frohn&rojas is a networked architectural design and research practice located in Cologne, Santiago de Chile and Los Angeles. FAR uses the material, technological, cultural, legal and environmental particularities of each building site to generate surprisingly playful answers to the project challenges.
“The projects and buildings of this young office are not characterized by the superficial haste of a globalized architect, but instead show profound souveranity and clarity in both their concept as well as realization.”
