Firm Description

Cohesion is a New York and Los Angeles based practice. It was founded by Malek Alqadi, Cohesion’s architectural principles emerges from a mindfulness of how contemporary life constantly evolves, while provoking our desire to feel our best in those spaces. Architecture has to deal with today’s challenges not in vague utopian theories, rather, embraces the possible from the pragmatic. Like a form of alchemy, Cohesion can address these multi-layered problems through its adherence to contextual, environmental and social problems. By hitting the subtle overlap between pragmatic and utopia, architecture finds the freedom to change how we converse with our contemporary worlds.
