The act of repair is often considered humble—functional, reactive, and confined to the background of design. Yet when viewed as a methodology, repair becomes a rich and nuanced framework through which architecture can engage with complexity, context, and care.
The projects presented in this publication have cultivated a diverse and evolving suite of tools and methods tailored to reparative practice. These approaches are not additive to the architectural process—they are central to it. Rooted in UG2’s commitment to hands-on experimentation, collaboration, and critical reflection, these tools allow students to confront repair as both a technical and socio-spatial act.
