Universals is underpinned with a fascination for everything structural. Its core values include architecture as an addition of elements to form a unique lexicon and working with the grid.

Firstly, one analyses the structural properties of an existing architecture. Secondly, structural parti and its core values are extrapolated from the existing architecture and translated into a new form that sits within a 30 x 30 x 30m space. You are then encountered with the programmatic aspect of the studio through the introduction of the large organization (. A proposal is prepared consisting of your new structural form based on your architectural precedent and how this form relates to the programmatic agenda of your chosen organisation. Finally this proposition continually gets refined to a stage where a program and site is carefully chosen and works with the Lexicon of the Organization, Site / Community and Structural Form.
