Architecture, mobility, education, culture.
An evolving constellation of practices, programs and places working across design, international mobility, education and culture.
Boötes began as an architecture practice in 1993. Today, it is becoming a wider collective: a platform where design practice, mobility guidance, education, cultural spaces and interdisciplinary knowledge can meet. This platform does not only explain the structure. It publishes it, connects it and makes it visible.
Boötes Design
A founding practice working across buildings, interiors, cities and long-term spatial thinking.
Boötes Consulting
Guidance across immigration, investment migration, relocation and cross-border education decisions.
Boötes Academy
Programs, workshops and resources shaped by three decades of architectural practice.
Culture Spaces
Future physical and cultural spaces where architecture, learning, exhibitions and community programs can meet.
Education Consulting
A future advisory layer connecting international education, design learning and mobility decisions.
Journal / Index
The editorial layer of bootes.com: a living archive of what the collective thinks, builds, teaches and hosts.
A living index of practices, places and programs.
A living index, not a corporate homepage.
bootes.com can become the place where the collective publishes work, ideas, programs, places and services across all units.
How architecture holds value when buildings are asked to last longer than their first brief.
Movement as cultural fluency — not only crossing borders, but building a life between them.
Learning shaped by practice — workshops, studios and resources from thirty years of work.
Physical rooms where exhibitions, learning and community programs meet the city.
One conversation across education, mobility and place — instead of fragmented advice.
A growing record of projects, notes and encounters across two bases and one practice.
Ideas, projects, programs, events and research.
Shared themes across design, mobility, education and culture.
Clear paths into the right unit, service or conversation.
Founded as a practice. Expanding as a collective.
Founded by Peter Böelsterli in 1993, Boötes grew from architectural practice into a wider field of work across places, people, education and international movement.

Boötes Collectives is a working concept for this platform — not a final legal name. Unit-specific work continues through each practice.
