Nature Territories Architecture:
the Future Inhabitants
Practice
Surrounding circumstances
We experiment with architectural forms that expand and develop perceptive possibilities for the viewer, following logics that belong to nature and its mutations. For this reasons our spatial research is conducted in the layered and complex relations between architecture and its context, Everything counts in the topography of a place, in the contemplated curves and angles of a path, visitor and space are united in a common dimension.
Materiality and memory
We are interested in a process we define as textile model, which can decode the multiple territorial strata and their consistencies within the singular nature of a site. This process generates an elaborate spatial system, which is capable of dealing with actions and movements rather than forms and functions involving structural flexibility able to change the programs to the users.
Accuracy and shapes
Construction techniques that are able to elaborate the range of forces in the fabrication of a space are the starting points for new spatial definitions, both in terms of geometry and morphogenesis. The return to simple forms, not as a retreat into the vacuum of self-referentiality, and the use of diagrams expressing parametric systems, are both instruments intended to develop a project designed for its future inhabitants.
