Hi, I'm Edward
A founder and creator, building an evolving ecosystem of experimentation, research, and exploration centered around architecture — shaping the next era of the industry.
Identity
I’m driven by curiosity and a belief that architecture is more than buildings — it’s a mindset for shaping ideas, systems, and futures.
Through experimentation and research,
I’m building projects that explore what architecture can become,
beyond the expected.
My work merges design, inquiry, and action to question, challenge, and expand architecture’s role in the world.
Arc'Lab
Arc’Lab is an evolving ecosystem of experimentation, research, exploration, and building centered around architecture.
Designed as a lab for ideas, inquiry, and action, Arc’Lab explores the future of architecture beyond the built environment —challenging norms, testing possibilities, and creating ventures that question what architecture can be.
Interested in collaborating, contributing, or connecting?
Whether you’re an architecture student, professional, or organization, Arc’Lab welcomes opportunities to research, build, and explore together — across projects and new ideas.
Projects
A selection of projects exploring architecture through design, experimentation, and building.
01 The StahlHäus
A modular micro-home exploring prefabrication, minimalism, and adaptability. This conceptual design investigates sustainable building systems for compact, flexible living.
Research
Ongoing research investigating architecture’s systems, education, workflows, and possibilities beyond the built environment.
01 The Architecture Workflow
An inquiry into the operational bottlenecks and inefficiencies in small architecture firms. This research explores ways to streamline workflows through systems thinking, technology, and management strategies.
02 The Challenges Facing Architecture
A research piece outlining key systemic challenges in the architectural profession, from education and licensure barriers to technological disruption and sustainability demands.
03 Architecture Reality Check
A reflection-based research documenting the contrast between architectural education and real-world practice, highlighting the unexpected realities faced by emerging professionals in the industry.
04 7 Years of Architecture School? Not Anymore.
A study of the UK’s architectural education reforms and their implications for global education systems, exploring alternative pathways to licensure and bridging the gap between learning and practice.
05 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Architecture Firms
A comprehensive research guide identifying critical metrics for evaluating architectural firm performance, focusing on profitability, efficiency, and strategic growth within practice management.
