Background

Perspective
Johanna Hurme and Sasa Radulovic founded 5468796 Architecture in 2007, and were joined shortly thereafter by Colin Neufeld.[1]
One of the first projects to gain the firm international recognition was OMS Stage (also known as The Cube),[2] an open-air performance venue in Old Market Square in Winnipeg's historic Exchange District.[1]
In 2012, 5468796 Architecture and Winnipeg architect Jae-Sung Chon[3] were selected as Canada's official entry to the 13th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia for their exhibition, Migrating Landscapes. In 2013, 5468796 Architecture was selected by the Canada Council for the Arts as recipients of the Professional Prix de Rome in Architecture for their travel and research project, Table for 12. As an integral part of practice, 5468796 Architecture established a number of research and engagement platforms to promote design culture and design-related initiatives within a broader community. Hurme led initiatives including Table for 12 and 1200, Chair Your Idea, and Design Quarter Winnipeg. In 2017, Hurme chaired the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce board introducing the Design Driven Economy platform.[citation needed]
In 2019, Hurme and Radulovic were named Morgenstern Visiting Chairs in Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Architecture in Chicago. The new position enabled the firm to continue their research into affordable and attainable housing. In 2023 5468796 published platform.MIDDLE: Architecture for Housing the 99% that is based and expands on practical research working with challenging economic and environmental circumstances - using 5468786’s built works - urban designs and community projects as the foundation to assemble a ‘toolkit’ of strategies for high-quality attainable, accessible and affordable multi-family housing. For the 2022 Spring Semester, Hurme was a Gensler Visiting Critic at Cornell AAP.[4]
