Baao

By Bfdo Architects and BAAO BAAO

This publication charts the multidisciplinary practice of Brooklyn-based architecture and design firm BAAO. By delving into a cross section of projects from acclaimed single- and multi-family residencies in Brooklyn, to institutional and retail projects like the Maple Street School and the Body Factory Midtown, to propositions like Chromatic Energy Landscape that fuse engineered technologies with ecological processes like photosynthesis and algae production, this eponymous publication highlights the diversity and ingenuity of BAAO's practice. Flowing through a thematic structure that is porous and intersectional, BAAO is not intended as a roundup of independent projects but instead presents itself as a selected outcome from a larger cluster of ongoing material and spatial research. This publication situates BAAO's work in the context of topical discussions including ecology and the landscape, multigenerational architecture and design, and the role of fabrication technologies in producing new relationships to space and place.
