In architecture, inflows refer to the elements that enter a firm directly or indirectly with the client brief.

Zoning policies, regulatory bylaws, resources available, access to software and tools, funding are all sources of constraint and boundaries that influence, affects and impact the firm's internal stock.

The stock are the elements of the system that you can see, feel, count or measure at any given time. Its an accumulation, storing, quantifying of material or information that has built over time.

stocks change over time through the actions of a flow.

discharge, leaks & waste

It is where the architectural act transforms from internal formwork to external artifact.


But every delivered project leaves an ecological footprint, offsets material waste and influence the knowledge gain matrix often ignored and oblivious to an

At the end of this journey, all twelve system maps, reflections, and essays will be published as a collective volume titled:




“Systems in Architecture Practice: A Living Archive”




This book will be co-authored by architects, designers, and researchers across multiple geographies—each contributing localized system models and diverse perspectives on how architecture learns, stagnates, and transforms.
