Atlas — an account, not an About
A civic system, specified to tolerance.
This page is not a list of people and positions. It is one drawing, worked — the discipline of taking a real thing, resolving its forces, and specifying it precisely, brought to systems that are usually left vague. Scroll: the sheet is revised, from first draught to in service.

The Studio — who, principles, contact
▼ Expand▲ Collapse
Who
IG12 is an independent research consultancy. Abdelkawy Abdou is IG12's Founder and Principal Researcher — a researcher trained through engineering, philosophy and a doctorate, working across data, spatial analysis and research infrastructure. He also leads the design, development and technical implementation of IG12's research instruments and infrastructure. The practice is currently one person; capacity grows project by project, collaborator by collaborator.
Principles
- — Begin with the problem, not the brief.
- — Evidence before verdicts; sources before stories.
- — Build honestly: work in progress is shown, not hidden.
Contact
The contact page sets out what IG12 offers — evidence systems, applied investigations and research instruments — and how to begin an enquiry. No form required.
