Double Negatives Architecture, shortly dNA, views the processes and devices used to measure space as ‘architecture’. dNA assembled a team for each project and engaged in a unique spectrum of activities including software and architectural design. Spanning both technical and conceptual aspects, dNA has consistently questioned the very concept of “the language of architecture”.

Currently dNA is employing a bottom-up style cell automaton program to study architectural modelling through the automated generation of forms, architectural visions on progressive spatial concept and progressive architectural language.
