Studio Euonym, as a practice, mines the overlaps between form and history to tell spatial stories. A euonym, a name well-suited to the thing it names or simply a good name, is a fitting way to describe our process — circling itself, zooming in and out, searching for a place to settle fittingly. We thank Rebecca Sealfon, the 1997 Scripps National Spelling Bee Champion, for bringing the word into our lives.
Studio Euonym’s current research investigates constructs of value in the context of historical objects, forms, and systems of evaluation for design archives. Most recently, the work has considered ways in which acts of historic preservation could exist as re-evaluative rather than additive processes.
Jacqueline Shaw is the founder of Studio Euonym, and an Assistant Professor and Architecture Department Head at the Rhode Island School of Design.
