DJEVE STORY
DJEVE* are a post-architectural collective.
DJEVE use architectural language to articulate non-architectural scenarios.
DJEVE challenge processes beyond the material and include social variety, gender context and individual revelations throughout the core of their work.
Created by experimenting with virtual collaboration, initiated from Belgrade, Berlin and Stockholm, DJEVE alter spatial distance into new realities.
DJEVE are structured in a way that encourages both internal and external collaboration, and at the same time keeps a strong notion of individual expression.
*(old Slavic: [djeve]; Serbian Cyrillic: Дјеве; - virgins, goddesses, girls)
