L'atelier DEV architecture Information

Founded by Julien Deloffre and Pierre Escobar, L’atelier DEV is a collaborative architecture studio working across disciplines, scales, and geographies. Based between Brussels, Berlin and Paris, the studio engages with space as both a physical and political matter, exploring how design can respond to societal, cultural, and urban challenges. Bringing together complementary backgrounds in research, practice, and pedagogy, L’atelier DEV approaches architecture not only as a means of construction, but as a framework for critical reflection and dialogue. The studio integrates research-based methodologies and cross-cultural perspectives, drawing from academic work, cultural initiatives, and field-based investigations. Their practice spans architectural design, Landscape design, urban studies, exhibition making, interior design, research and teaching. L’atelier DEV architecture is actively involved in academia: Pierre Escobar is a professor of Interior Architecture and Spatial Design at Berlin International University of Applied Sciences.
