ATELIER ATLANTICO, is defined as an architecture studio with two opposite cultural origins separated by an ocean. Because of this, the working space is understood as a workshop where we seek for simple architectural answers to complex problems.
AA is a workshop dedicated to the practice, theory and teaching of architecture. We understand it as a place where ideas are built and materialized through a non lineal working process that weaves these three worlds, looking for coming back to the fundaments of architectural basics.
AA uses the history and imagination of matter as a formal construct tool, we use elemental and clear geometries searching for an order on a series of structural elements that define the space through the material and its rules.
AA looks for a specific answer to each memory of a site, place or space, inquiring on the cultural, historical and material traces of the place and looking for the definition of a specific object.
AA understands the architecture as an answer to the cultural, social and economic reality. The projects reduce the architecture to the expressively essential looking for honest and clear materially structures capable to be transformed on the future. Thus, AA finds answers to the proposed projects through the use of nowadays industry and crafts. We explore the specific constructive knowledge that surrounds us.
