Stephanie Davidson and Georg Rafailidis work as DAVIDSON RAFAILIDIS. The interest underlying much of their work is the friction between the original design intentions for spaces and buildings, and the much richer built reality and unpredictable lives that buildings inevitably have. In most of their work, they study existing built conditions – sometimes these studies evolve into built works and sometimes the studies take the form of documentation (drawings, photographs, writing). The duo was recognized with the Emerging Voices award from the Architectural League of New York in 2018. The realized work of DAVIDSON RAFAILIDIS embraces frugality; projects are accomplished on lean budgets and are seen as case studies in financially accessible architecture: space for everyone.

Two adaptive reuse projects will be shared: Big Space Little Space and Continual Construction. Both projects are located in Buffalo, NY and address different types of users (private/residential and public/commercial). Both projects were done on constrained budgets, implant building stewardship and anticipate future spatial/use change.
