Y S D M is the collaborative studio
of Yoshihiro Sergel & Diana Mangaser,
currently based in Newburgh, NY.
Our practice imagines design as a prismatic lens in which we integrate spatial awareness, architectural sensibility, and aesthetics into the structure of everyday environments we immerse ourselves and invite others to engage in.
Our work aims to mediate the oft divisive disciplinary separation between the speculative yet generative exercises of theoretical inquiry and the immediacy of praxis by undertaking the task of seeing such speculations through to built form.
By selecting to operate from a ground-up, environmentally, economically, and socially conscious framework, we leverage constraints as part of a framework from which we continuously develop our position and conceptual lines of study.
As of late, our interest lies in tea culture; intersections between cultural/traditional materials and methods with contemporary forms; what a regenerative architecture may come to be.
