SHIFTSPACE is a Philadelphia-based design studio focused on the interplay of architecture and industrial design. Led by Mario Gentile and Tim Barnes, the multidisciplinary team engages with brands, institutions, and cities to complete projects at varying scales. Their work ranges from large scale urban interventions and creative placemaking to architecture and furniture.
The studio has been blending architectural space, public art, and landscapes together with places and products since 2009. The client and design team agree on desired project outcomes and the team conducts necessary research related to the brief. The design team then reports findings to ensure the objectives are in line. The studio produces initial concepts based on the research findings.
This lateral-thinking exercise allows for a range of ideas to be explored. Through extensive experimentation unexpected and innovative ideas are unearthed during this phase. The studio and client agree on a concept to pursue. The development of that concept involves a deeper exploration into materiality, potential challenges, fabrication, and detailing.
