About

We pay our respects and acknowledgments to the 
Traditional Custodians on whose land we live, work and travel through. 

Future Method Studio is a collaborative and interdisciplinary practice working across architecture, installation and speculative projects. The focus of the studio is on material culture and creative methodologies that are impact and process driven. We work with a variety of clients to design residential, health and civic buildings, and we design immersive & performative works, exhibitions and installations in collaboration with institutions and artists for a variety of spaces, scales and budgets.

Previous commissions include work for the Museum of Contemporary Art, the NGV’s Melbourne Design Week, Molonglo’s MG Projects, Nat Randall and Anna Breckon with The Second Woman for Next Wave, Dark Mofo and Liveworks, the Unconscious Collective for the Unconformity Festival, and the Sydney Biennale.

Previous collaborations include work with Dutch design group FOUNDation Projects, Sydney based Make-Space for Architecture and Archival on projects for the Sydney Architecture Festival 2013 and the Venice Architecture Biennale 2012, Alvaro Carrillo and Carmen Blanco on WATERTOPIA, and Future Acts with Dabee and Wiradjuri artists/activists Lyn Syme and Kevin Williams for The Newlandscapes Institute.

Future Method Studio is Joel Spring and Genevieve Zoe Murray.

Joel Sherwood-Spring, a Wiradjuri man raised between Redfern and Alice Springs, is a Sydney based Masters of Architecture student and interdisciplinary artist currently focussing on the contested narratives of Sydney’s and Australia’s urban culture and indigenous history in the face of ongoing colonisation. Joel began working with Future Method in 2017.

Genevieve Zoe Murray, before establishing Future Method Studio in 2013, worked with Ric Leplastrier, Glenn Murcutt, Mcdonald Wright Architects (London), and Sydney based Hungerford+Edmunds, and Rod Simpson. Genevieve has written for Assemble Papers, Architecture AU, and the Sydney Morning Herald, and teaches and lectures between UTS and Sydney University on a sessional basis.

The studio’s work has been nominated for the Conde Naste Design Innovation Award 2010 and shortlisted for the Designboom competition Design For Death 2013.
