The London based architect and artist Usman Haque designs interactive architectural systems and is interested in the ways that people relate to each other and to their surrounding space.

He develops both physical spaces and the software and systems that bring them to life. In other words, these systems based on the software's algorithms fulfil several functions: the detection of a position in space, of a sound, of an odour, of the temperature, of a cellular phone, etc. Architecture is here conceived as an "operating system."

He has also created interactive installations, environments with projections, digital interfaces, choreographic performances and works for computer. Former partner of Josephine Pletts, with whom he founded the Pletts Haque architecture firm, he presently teaches at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London, England
