Architectural Project and Thought

Convenient ambiguities: materiality as a flexible playground for architecture.

Every action of architecture is an action on the materiality of a site. We will always act on some material territoriality (regardless of its size) and we will do it with some material tools (structures and technologies). We propose to look at the apparent and irreconcilable struggle between ideas and matter under to light generated by the combination of complexity, unorthodoxy, disciplinary secularism and ludic awareness.

During the course, technical and material considerations are, therefore, integrated with others of a social, urban and ecological nature, within the framework of a more sustainable vision of the reality of our cities and landscape, seen as a story that never reaches a defined ending and to which the project does nothing but add another layer.
