a-graft *  
a-graft is Europe-wide practice gathering architects and a philosopher
in different urban situations to trade ideas, expertise, and inspiration.
Invested in understanding and re-interpreting the city,
they focus on questions of a renewed relationship to landscape,
environment and human gesture.
