Research

Metropolitan Workshop has committed to a programme of practice-based research aimed at capturing and communicating our practice expertise and reflecting on it with a variety of voices to promote innovation and enhance our creative endeavour. We will select a major research theme annually, driven by our practice imperatives and our collaborators. Like everything else we do as a studio, our research process will be tailored to the specific issues at hand and encourage collaboration. Each research project will begin with an issue of Prospects, a set of proposition papers that will constructively challenge our thinking, and planned events to capture debate within practice and refine our analysis. Our research projects will end with an addendum Prospects, which will capture new knowledge from participating -practitioners, present new reflection and analysis on our past and current practice, and critically propose new ways of thinking that will enrich our future practice with collaborators.
