A practice named within the studio catalogue but pending scope definition. This page is a placeholder maintained for catalogue completeness while the practice's actual contents await articulation.
Three working hypotheses for BASE's eventual scope. These are the studio's reactions to the codename — the final scope will be Jordan's call when ready.
BASE as the practice covering the studio's own operational infrastructure — the Dupont Arts studio space itself, the systems for running M1ND.studio as a working entity, the documentation of operating procedures, the studio's own dwelling and workspace setup.
BASE as the architectural-foundation practice — the literal foundations that BXBX dwellings sit on, the site-prep work, the relationship to land. A KEEP-adjacent practice but operating at the site scale rather than the document scale.
BASE as the geographically-anchored practice — work that's specifically Toronto (the studio's home base) rather than the globally-applicable work of T1NY, MHYC, BXBX, MEAL, STOCK. Toronto-specific consulting, local cultural work, the studio's hometown contribution.
