Information
PhilosophyWe design architecture to thrive in change, where disorder drives systems that continually redefine themselves. Our approach begins with novel material cycles, but its aim is broader: long-term, adaptive value that is enriched over time.
MethodologyWe work through algorithmic design and custom fabrication to develop systems that emerge from matter, not impose form onto it. By simulating physical behaviours - like erosion, aggregation, or decay - we grow architectures that adapt, recombine, and mature over time.
PresenceOur work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Royal Academy of Arts, Barbican Centre, and the London Design Festival. This presence is supported by collaborations with leading institutions such as the AA School and ETH Zurich, and endorsed by the Design Council.
LeadershipOZRUH is led by Levent Ozruh, an architectural designer whose background in creative innovation has been shaped by research carried out through MIT, the Bartlett (UCL), and the European Space Agency. He leads the company in the divergent cultural applications of focused research in material systems, adaptive and open-ended architectures that evolve through change.
