Batay-Csorba Architects strives to create projects that engage their context, users and the public realm. The practice is committed to creating transformative spatial experiences through the exploration of site, typology, materiality and movement. Batay-Csorba’s work is dedicated to the construction of real spaces that engage people and place, and is based on the belief that architecture has a fundamental role in shaping how people experience the world. Each project is generated through a deep reading of the site in search of unexpected relationships that can both tie it to a larger urban contribution and shape new perceptual experiences. Their work ranges from small-scale installations, graphic visualization and multi-media design, to architecture, interior design and large-scale urban planning. Batay-Csorba’s accolades include a 2015 Canadian Architect Award, a 2015 Twenty and Change Next Generation Award, a 2014 OAA Concept Award, participation in the 2012 Venice Biennale Migrating Landscapes exhibition, an AIA LA 2x8 Award, being named a guest lecturer at the 2012 Festival Abierto in Panama City, and being featured in the 2013-2014 Proteiforme Architecture Parametrique exhibition in Montreal and Quebec City.
