Architensions has been selected for Architectural Record’s prestigious 2024 Design Vanguard award. "The award program recognizes 10 leading young firms and individuals who represent the promise of the next generation of architects."
Ian Volner writes in RECORD "...the duo have demonstrated a consistent willingness to upend conventions, looking to social principles without sacrificing form-making to create something altogether unexpected. It’s an approach that flows from what is still, by Nick Roseboro’s account, a remarkably fluid collaboration: ‘We joke that, actually, there’s no tension at Architensions.’”
This idea of collectivity couldn’t be more evident than in their ongoing San Ferdinando Masterplan project. Volner continues: “But public space, and public works, remain at the top of Architensions’ agenda—and their capacity to tackle such projects on a large scale is currently being tested by the pair’s so-called “vision plan” for San Ferdinando, a small community in the Calabria region of Alessandro Orsini’s native Italy…when the town’s mayor invited the designers in 2021 to organize an urban-design workshop with residents, they were immediately intrigued, seeing an opportunity to put their thinking about the built environment and collective living into practice. In an ongoing experiment, the townspeople have participated, alongside the architects, in reimagining San Ferdinando’s daily existence, creating schemes for everything from public plazas to gardens with the aim of ‘constructing a new social fabric,’ as Orsini puts it. For Architensions, it’s just the kind of ground-up, civic-minded enterprise that the partners are most eager to pursue, and that they seem to be finding more and more of as their office evolves.”
