TEN is an architecture and research association working on the principle that value is an outcome of design effort. Its engagement on public themes of interest and design of the built environment is shaped by its common statute and open collaborative approach. TEN is rooted in Europe but practices without borders.
TEN is composed as a record label, providing new formats for interdependent work groups with emphasis on design by research. It aims to conceive, explore and produce ideas that both state and expand upon emerging practices in the built environment. Its focus lies on producing new design realities by means of creating prototypes, innovative buildings, urban propositions, and environmentally sensible resource and material application with a wide range of collaborators, colleagues, institutional partners and private clients. TEN is currently focused on developing models for sustainable, affordable and adaptive buildings with particular focus on capable structures, reuse and cohabitation for different time horizons.
TEN is a Swiss Art Award (Architecture 2018) and Foundation Award (2020) laureate. Its members are regularly invited and awarded for their contributions to swiss and international design competitions. The work of its members has been published and presented across numerous digital and printed platforms, magazines and academic journals.
TEN has most recently been nominated for the Royal Academy Dorfman Prize 2024, Lisbon Triennale Début Award 2025, the Mies van der Rohe Award 2022 for its prototype Avala House and the World Bank Resilient Housing Award for its construction model for the redevelopment of the Thame Valley, Nepal among other.
