about
this website is not seeking clients – it attempts to contain an evolving body of work and as such will never be finished. this work has its power in ‘real’ space over time.
We activate social architecture [1] as an overlay to physical architecture.
he&eve duo Henrik Ender (architect) and Erin Veronica Ender (spatial artist/ educator) actively engage with environmental sustainability, cultural sustainability and social sustainability.
they thrive on innovative experiments in social space.
over the past two decades he&eve have combined forces with many talented collaborators and maintained ongoing creative projects with a handful of the best. one of our most celebrated accomplishments is our renovated home/ office/ dance studio www.bigbangstudio.com.au and expand to offsite events/ exhibitions some of which are included in www.heandeve.com
social architecture seeks to steer the invisible yet powerful currency (social systems) we are all embroiled with, even if we deny its worth. within the literal building blocks of any establishment lies an equally intricate formwork of social status/ project titles/ department agendas which flourishes when it’s consciously designed to promote synergies. so not only is the process more delightful, the outcomes become more magical.
“it (social architecture) implies two things: mastery of a craft and social intelligence.”[2]
not recognising social architecture is like watching a 3D movie without 3D-glasses – we believe we are MORE collectively.
the representation of these projects are merely still and 2d at this point. we will add some of our extensive collection of stereo (3d) documentation of projects at a later stage.
