MARC FORNES (registered Architect DPLG) is the founder and principal of THEVERYMANY - www.theverymany.net - a design studio and collaborative research forum engaging the field of architecture via what he qualifies as “Explicit and Encoded protocols”.
In 2004 he graduated with a Master of Architecture and Urbanism from the Design Research Lab of the Architectural Association in London after having previously studied in France and Sweden (KTH).
Marc’s professional work experience in La Reunion, France, UK and the US includes SOM, Ross Lovegrove and Zaha Hadid Architects, where he was the project architect, from competition to tender documentation, for an experimental Mediatheque in Pau. During his three years on this project he directed the material research and geometrical development for the largest self-supported carbon fibre shell to date.
Marc – together with Francois Roche (R&Sie(n)) - is co-teaching “(n)certainties” for the 5th time – a graduate studio currently hosted at Columbia University (NYC) and also at the University of Southern California (Los Angeles); in Fall 2008 it was hosted at Die Angewandte (Vienna) as its Cross Over studio. Marc was invited professor at University of Michigan (spring 08) and has previously led many workshops and appeared as a guest critic at the Architectural Association, The Royal College of Art, Columbia University, Pratt Institute, the University of Pennsylvania, Ball State University, in Chile, etc…
In parallel of academia - he is also teaching professional Rhinoscript classes for McNeel US and Europe.
In 2007 he produced & curated Scriptedbypurpose – www.scriptedbypurpose.net – the first exhibition exclusively focusing on scripted processes within design – and recently curated the European section for the Architecture Biennale 2008 in Beijing.
THEVERYMANY research – mostly showcased as experimental installation work - has been exhibited in many shows and art galleries around the world including London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Calgary, Lyon, New York, Los Angeles, Beijing…
Marc and THEVERYMANY are now based in New York – practicing both in the US and Europe – as architect/designer focusing mainly on computation, especially regarding the generation and automaton of parts…

- " the very many " - is a simple assembly of three words : "definite article" (ie Explicit) + "adjective-modifier" (ie Variables) + "plural" (ie Multiplicity). Combined as a motto, it addresses contemporary cultures as complex and intricate systems...
- " theverymany " - identifies a Collective of people as well as a Collection of experiments which engage the field of design via protocols of "precise indetermination".
