After his graduation Studio Elmo Vermijs was set up, the studio initiates, designs and realises autonomous architectonical objects in public space. These arise from a social context in and the fascination for locations, spaces, (waste)materials, craftsmanship and constructions. The objects bring people together by asking them to act, participate or organize an activity. The projects are developed and built from the potential that is present in an area.
