What We Do
What we do is primarily in the realm of architecture. Infinite Axis though, is aware of the role architecture plays in shaping society and the environment. As such, we have experience and interests in undertaking research and empowering allied practitioners. In fact, some areas we have identified as key for us that integrate architecture, research and empowerment include: energy efficiency in buildings; savings / gains on building projects; undertaking Post Occupany Evaluation studies; probing future value of projects; interrogating drivers of productivity at the workplace and; studies around empathy, equity and the environment.
Projects
Architecture
At Infinite Axis, we approach architecture as a locally grounded and deeply intentional practice. In a world shaped by globalization and consumerism, we choose to respond with design that is driven by place. Our work is inspired by the realities of local climate, materials, and culture, paired with a clear understanding of how people live, move, and connect within a space. We believe architecture should be efficient yet expressive, responsive yet bold—shaped by its environment rather than imposed upon it.
Research
In terms of research, Infinite Axis sees the opportunity there is in terms of generating, defining, interrogating and disseminating key Sub Saharan Africa (developing country) led research. In this regard, it is imperative for us to engage action research that inspires on the job, community and project related evaluation studies to realise key efficiencies and international best practice.
Empowerment
Infinite Axis particularly sees empowerment as a niche - where contributing to nurturing a critical mass of technically proficient professionals within the spheres of the built environment will be key. In addition, empowerment will extend to activities that assist society (our general public / potential clients / developers) in as far as understanding the modalities of realising high value projects is concerned. We see ourselves engaging in webinars, roundtables, office charettes, client design clinics among other needs based activities.
