Architensions (ATE), led by Alessandro Orsini and Nick Roseboro, is an architectural design studio operating as an agency of research, and based in New York and Rome. Architensions works at the intersection of theory, practice, and academia, focusing on social behaviors and architecture, both in continuous dialogue with the context and aiming at creating new experiential scenarios. The studio seeks to define fields of actions for the built environment that reconnect urbanism and architecture, through spaces that establish a narrative within the city and oppose the paradigm of architecture as a financial tool. Their work and research have been published and exhibited internationally at the Casa dell’Architettura in Rome, the Van Alen Institute, Storefront for Art and Architecture, Center for Architecture, and the Java Project Gallery in New York. In 2015, Libria published the volume “Forma Urbana,” a focus on Architensions’ research on experience, the fifth dimension of architecture.
