RoTo Architects

Michael's Midterm is live now!

RotoLab's Affinity Space launched an online community and knowledge web for people to offer expertise on current challenges. We open with ‘The Fortbuilding Initiative,’ in support of families homeschooling or overseeing online education. Simple fort building can offer learning tools and, hopefully some levity to learning at home. Please join the Affinity Space page to share your ideas for customizing a fort with technology, art, nature, etc, to further learning and engage...ment opportunities. The full brief is here : https://www.rotoark.com/post/the-fortbuilding-initiative . . #rotoark #rotoarchitects #michaelrotondi #homeschool #virtualclassroom #education #onlinelearning #futureofeducation #projectbasedlearning #diy #maker #fortbuilding #forts #sensorydeprivation

Thoughts pulled from lectures Michael has given over the years. Like most people, we have been considering the value of connection and community, and how it will look in the future. . . . .... #architecture #architect #michaelrotondi #lecture #architecturalmind #lovenotfear #rotoarchitects #design #designthinking #designmind #designphilosophy See more

Some topical slides from lectures Michael has given over the years. We are grateful and inspired to see the global collective leaning heavily towards love, and experiencing the delicate relationship between society and economy. Much will be recalibrated through this experience together. . . . .... #architecture #architect #michaelrotondi #lecture #architecturalmind #lovenotfear #rotoarchitects #design #designthinking #designmind #designphilosophy #covid19 See more

With the recent concern around #coronavirus and traveling many firms and #architecture schools are looking for solutions for collaborating remotely. RoTo has spent the past few years developing a #vr tool for remote #collaboration called Second Studio. It’s available #opensource on @github. It’s not finished but we hope it helps you stay productive https://github.com/SecondStudio/Second-Studio

ARCHITECT magazine recently wrote about ‘Five Ways to Grow a Stronger Business in 2020’ - our sister company RotoLab is featured in #4 :

Thank you, Ray Kappe. SCI-Arc would not have been possible without Ray Kappehis personality and character, his ideas, and most of all his visions were unique. Many of us would not have been possible without SCI-Arc, he has contributed immeasurably to all of our lives. -Michael Rotondi

28 years ago today Michael opened RoTo_ndi - wanting time explore a different type of practice. We constantly try to open new doors, and create them. Much has been percolating at the studio the last months, more to share soon. Here’s to the next 28 years of exploration, learning and creation.

‘What if architecture was an active medium for teaching and learning?’ Office field trip to Da Vinci escape rooms this week. Expanding the realm of education (formal and informal) is an integral part of our work. . . . #architecture #architect #michaelrotondi #rotoarchitects #design #designthinking #designmind #designphilosophy ... #escaperoom #lifelonglearning #education See more
