Studio aki made the structures entitled Caddis Cathedral, Termite City, Veil House and Exoshelters.

​It is a transdisciplinary, architecture and research practice committed to creating socially-engaged projects. Led by Sarah Akigbogun, the studio straddles the boundaries of architecture, art and design, drawing on influences from engineering, film and theatre. Projects include small scale objects and installations, working up to the architectural scale and public spaces.

Studio aki's interest in biomimicry stems from Sarah’s training in structures whilst studying Architectural Engineering. She continues to be inquisitive about how things work, maintaining an interest in form, geometry and materials. For her, nature is an endless source of ingenious solutions which ignite curiosity and inform what is designed in the studio.
​
Why do Spiders and other Arthropods have exoskeletons? How can their silk be so strong? What do Caddisfly larvae make their portable cases out of and how do termites make such impressive homes?
​
Inspired by the Just So stories and Yoruba Parables, 
Sarah Akigbogun for Studio Aki has created a series of miniature buildings. These takes us into the weird and wonderful world of nature and ponders just why it is so amazing.  Using found materials from around London and referencing the materials of the site, in particular the green patina roofs aged over time, her works also draw on a rich history of place.​​
