md-2 architects | Mahaut Dael and Michał Długajczyk
md-2 architects is founded by Mahaut Dael (1992, Belgium) and Michał Długajczyk (1989, Poland), both graduated cum laude at the Rotterdamse Academie van Bouwkunst. Through models, scenographies, research and renovation projects, md-2 explores the site specificity of a place, aiming on extracting and revealing its material and immaterial layers. md-2 regularly collaborates with artists, opening the field of architecture to a wider spectrum of influences.
