Radical Research & Re-storying Agency (RRA) is an architectural-research agency grounded in decolonial methodologies. We re-contextualize space and reveal the multiple stories that shape our world.





Radical Research & Re-storying Agency (RRA) is an architectural-research agency committed to decolonial methodologies. Through research, publications, and community collaborations, we challenge dominant spatial histories and highlight overlooked narratives. Our work fosters radical discourse, bridging disciplines to reimagine architecture, history, and identity collectively.





We offer Research and Consultation packages to architecture firms.

Our work utilises research into historical and spatial analysis. We recognise that architects are visual thinkers therefore our work is both a critical analysis and a visual investigation. We re-appropriate architectural tools like digital modelling, 3D animation, GIS cartographic mapping in order to show that space, is in fact, political and there are a plethora of factors existing within context that must be included in the creation of architecture.





Who we are.
