About LINE.

HKS LINE (Laboratory for INtensive Exploration) is a studio that operates as an architectural research and design team, cross-pollinating design thinking across all sectors and industries. By studying and evaluating the relationships between emerging technologies and methodologies, LINE seeks to elevate modes of architectural production and construction through intensive explorations in design, materiality, process, and tools.

What We do.

Architecture + Design

Fabrication Development

Digital Workflow + Tool Making

Simulation + Analysis

Theoretical Speculation

Workshops + Teaching

LINE exists to initiate and sustain topical research via active contribution as a design studio. Leveraging technology and science, we focus on the creation and integration of innovative solutions and in-depth research into the built environment.
