Practice

POST-AKT is an architectural practice that distrusts stillness, completion, and the idea that cities are ever finished. It operates in the gaps, between past and future, nature and infrastructure, authorship and occupation, where architecture is least comfortable and therefore most alive.

​

The practice treats architecture not as an object, but as an ongoing negotiation between land, people, memory, and systems that refuse to stay put. It works with derelict sites, thresholds, and urban leftovers, spaces often written off as failed or empty, understanding them instead as politically and ecologically charged territories. These are places where histories linger, where Country persists despite erasure, and where alternative futures can be rehearsed rather than resolved.

​

POST-AKT is suspicious of fixed typologies, singular centres, and heroic authorship. It proposes architecture as a framework to be invaded, misused, re-written, and co-authored over time. Buildings are allowed to change their minds. Users are encouraged to interfere. Systems are exposed, rituals spill outward, and infrastructure becomes inhabitable. If a city must grow, it should do so inward, sideways, and reluctantly.

​

Country is not a backdrop. It is an active agent. POST-AKT works with land as living, storied, and unfinished, while remaining conscious of the responsibilities and frictions that come with working across unceded territories and multiple cultural lineages. These tensions are not smoothed over; they are held, examined, and allowed to inform the work.

​

Time, here, is elastic. Projects stretch across colonial pasts, unstable presents, and speculative futures that are deliberately imperfect. Drawing is used not to illustrate solutions, but to test narratives, layer histories, and imagine architectures that can decay, regenerate, and reassemble themselves.

​

POST-AKT does not offer answers. It stages conditions. It asks architecture to slow down, give ground back, and learn to live with uncertainty. This is a practice less interested in building monuments, and more invested in building relationships: between Country, culture, systems, and the people who inevitably change them.
