CURATION MAPPING POETIC MATERIAL REFINED MENTAL FRAMEWORKS

As an infinitely complementary duo, S C H E M A exhibits a regenerative practice. A celebration of co-creating and simultaneous imaginings. 

S C H E M A is made up of architects and artists Meriç Özgen and Michael Clapp. Together, they delve into questions philosophical and prescient in today’s blended spheres of the digital and the analogue.

WHO WE ARE..

S C H E M A is a practice of mapping - of exploring mental and material frameworks.

Our process oscillates from the material and textural to the conceptual and analytical. While one exacts a digital, technical fabrication, the other tests objects engulfed in the physical and tectonic builds. We philosophize the simple things, and simplify the complicated. 

A speculative realist met a pragmatic dreamer and we’ve been co-scheming since. While one wonders in the criticism, the other brings the poetic. While one wonders in the associative, the other becomes the essence-maker.

S C H E M A is a practice of curation - of crafting poetic and refined frameworks.

what we do..

We like to make objects, frames, frameworks, vessels, books, prints, inscriptions of light and earth.

We love to talk by fires with furry friends at our feet. We love to use high syllable-count, weighty words, not because they’re big, but because they bewitch us.

Send us your thoughts & desires on:

  • A tailored memento

  • A suave room

  • A peculiar space

  • A heavy object

  • A light you love (other than the sun)

  • A knob for a firm handshake

  • A texture that tickles your skin or

  • A pattern that scratches your brain

Don’t let constraints get the best of you;
