Our interest in architecture is driven by a hybrid approach between physical experiments and geometrical organizations. Integration of active structural principles, properties of materials and procedures of construction prompt the design pursue at the onset of each project. Searching for novel experiences of Space forms the ultimate social ambition for the architecture to come.
