Our planet is projected to be home to over 9.7 billion people by 2050.

​​

That's a future-planet where 2.1 billion more people will need water, food, shelter, sanitation, education, transport, and more.

​​

What does this world look like? How dense can we go? What about the rural lands that support our cities?

 

How do we engage with the built environment that goes beyond protecting the planet and become champions of regenerating the planet, while society continues to evolve.

​

Disruptive new technologies are completely transforming the way we inhabit the world and lead our lives - and so are our desires and expectations.

 

We value a neighbourhood-scale approach to infrastructure, the importance of well-being, and acknowledge our desire to connect more deeply with ourselves, each other and nature.

​

We believe design is the art of synthesis across all disciplines, and with the right strategy it has the power to tackle our challenges of tomorrow

- as long as we ask the right questions and work collaboratively.

​​

"A problem cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created it". Einstein's much-repeated words could never ring more true than today, and we're following this insight to break new ground for a world of tomorrow we actually want to live in.

Studio 8FOLD is driven to innovate meaningful change through design and strategy.
