DVLPR (pronounced developer) is a design studio committed to a proactive role for design practices. The studio’s portfolio encompasses a wide range of cultural, and commercial projects including exhibition design, support for artists, scenography, and activism. For several years, culminating in 2022, the studio worked in close collaboration with Sub studio in Berlin on the worldwide rebranding of Balenciaga's architectural campaign and scenography for Paris fashion week. DVLPR works regularly at the intersection of art and architecture and has realized significant cultural projects with artists and institutions such as Kevin Beasley at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Cady Noland at the Museum für Moderne Kunst. Most recently, the studio has completed a major commission with artist Timur Si-Qin at the newly opened Meta headquarters in New York.  

DVLPR founder David Andrew Tasman, together with MoMA's current Emilio Ambasz Institute director, Carson Chan, and Professor Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, co-organized the Yale University symposium, Exhibiting Architecture: A Paradox, and is co-editor of the eponymous book published by Yale and distributed by Actar Press. Tasman has contributed to international publications including Kaleidoscope, Frieze, Flash Art, PIN-UP, and Dis. Prior to founding DVLPR, Tasman worked as a designer at DS+R and was an associate principal at KPF in New York. He has a B. Arch from Cornell University and an M. Arch from Yale University. Tasman is also a member of Citygroup, a collective that promotes opposition and alternatives to urban development that erode the social, cultural and environmental fabric of the city. Citygroup is one of this year’s winners of the Architectural League Prize.

DVLPR is an equal opportunity employer.
