ARKFORMA

"Arkform is not a school. It is a five-year journey where students learn by doing, guided by masters. We weave architecture, farming, health, and design into one continuum of life and form. Students leave not with degrees, but with the power to shape worlds.”
Builds architects of life  on the ground, in community starting in Tulum, México.

Journey in Five Years

  • Year 1 – The Soil: Life begins in decay and regeneration.
  • Year 2 – Structure Form takes hold.
  • Year 3 – Community The singular expands.
  • Year 4 – Horizon Beyond the local.
  • Year 5 – Legacy What endures.

How We Work

Arkform is learning by doing.
​Students build tangible works such as shelters, soil beds, Installations, clothing.
Designs in dialogue with mentors.
Every project is collective, every lesson embodied.

The Mentors

  • Profiles of guiding figures (architects, farmers, artists, thinkers).
  • Headline: Guided by Masters.

The Students

Arkform students are apprentices, travelers, and builders.
​They come not to sit in lectures, but to shape life itself.
