FriesingerPostma

FriesingerPostma is a design and research studio active in architecture, urbanism, and digital fabrication. Based in the Netherlands, it undertakes international commissions and research collaborations that explore how computational methods inform built form and public space.

Founded in the early 2010s by design partners Friesinger and Postma, the practice emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and iterative prototyping. Its workflow combines parametric design, physical fabrication, and material testing to evaluate structural performance, constructability, and environmental impact.

Projects range from pavilion installations and urban interventions to research platforms that prototype new fabrication techniques and workflows. In addition to built work, FriesingerPostma produces experimental studies, writes on design methods, and participates in educational and professional forums.

The practice has been presented at design exhibitions and conferences and has contributed to discourse on topics such as scalable computation, material computation, and adaptive infrastructure. It is known for documenting its design processes and for collaborations with engineers, fabricators, and scholars.

FriesingerPostma operates as a small, multidisciplinary team that engages external specialists as needed. The firm seeks to combine craft with digital imagination, fostering experiments that translate data-driven insights into tangible, site-responsive outcomes.
