The transformation of the built environment raises questions that no single discipline can answer alone. That is why the Sto Foundation has established Exploration, a new funding area dedicated to research projects that bring together science, planning, and craftsmanship. 

What makes Exploration unique is its interdisciplinary approach: architecture, engineering, and materials research meet the practical expertise of skilled tradespeople, technicians, and master craftspeople in the finishing and fit-out sector. The result is knowledge that does not remain confined to the laboratory but finds its way onto construction sites and into real-world applications.
