At the heart of Stapati were the people: the clients, the architects, the collaborators and well-wishers who shaped a living legacy built on partnership and perseverance.

This was unearthed by FS, through intimate interviews and archival curation. Drawings, photographs and people's stories were woven with oral histories, allowing memory to guide the narrative through our “3 Ps” framework, which is People, Practice and Philosophy.

Through extensive archival research, oral history interviews and a close study of spatial and built environments, the team worked to convey the lived ethos of the school and its values, questions and quiet transformations.
