Blank Studio Architecture

Blank Studio Architecture is an architectural practice based in Phoenix, Arizona. The practice was founded in 2006 by Matthew Trzebiatowski, AIA.^[1] The work of Blank Studio Architecture has been compared to the likes of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe^[2] because of their use of material and volume. Their works focus on the sensual qualities found in architecture, such as interplay of natural and artificial illumination, and unconventional uses of material. Projects consistently display a phenomenological approach to design.

The studio has partnered with University of Arizona and The School of Architecture at Taliesin to provide students with the opportunity to learn about the study of architecture through practice. Students work on the studio's active architectural projects and gain exposure to all phases of the work through this collaboration.
