THEVERYMANY is a design studio and collaborative research forum engaging the field of architecture via encoded and explicit processes. »The very many« is a simple assembly of three words : “definite article” (ie Explicit) + “adjective-modifier” (ie Variables) + “plural” (ie Multiplicity). Combined as a motto, it addresses contemporary cultures as complex and intricate systems…
