'sitwnx UBC Okanagan Child Care / Public Architecture + Design
"Sitwnx explores a design approach called Architectural Pragmatism, which means working with, rather than against, the many challenges that come up during a project. Instead of resisting limitations, the design looks for creative opportunities within them."
"For example, when faced with a tight budget, pre-made roof trusses were chosen. Instead of hiding these simple materials, they were exposed, showing that even low-cost construction can be architecturally interesting"
Sitwnx applies Architectural Pragmatism by embracing constraints and converting them into design opportunities. The approach focuses on working with, rather than against, common project challenges such as limited budgets and material availability. Designers selected pre-made roof trusses to meet cost constraints. Rather than concealing inexpensive components, the design exposes structural elements to celebrate material honesty. The exposed trusses demonstrate that low-cost construction can also achieve architectural interest. The strategy prioritizes pragmatic decisions that generate aesthetic value and functional performance within real-world limits.
