Atelier Gapont designs future concepts and puts them into practice.
We combine scientific research with artistic strategies and use our experience in architecture and urbanism to design physical, social and procedural spaces.
Atelier Gapont is the spatial node in a network of different organisations, including the architecture office LHA, the artistic practice Institute for Linear Research, the publishing house Infinite Publication Series, and the initiative Verein ELF.
Our core team consists of Luis Hilti, Julia del Rio, Nevena Velikova, Christian Schlag, Sarah Wetteskind, Otto Schlosser and Eva Candela.
