» BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, NOT ONLY INFRASTRUCTURES
More programing, less construction.
Buildings are interventions that promote political consciousness and civic responses.
Public infrastructures that enhances and supports local talents, traditions and multiple intelligences in forms of labour.
Public knowledge factories that trigger abstract thinking, creative performance and new learning and pedagogical processes.
» FAST ASSEMBLING SLOW ARCHITECTURE
Reengineering Communities // Ecologies of Desires
Buildings are a logistic chain of events that, eventually, could transform into a complex social, performative and environmental apparatus.
The process develops a series of hybrid and flexible civic artifacts that promote cultural activities to regenerate the existing ecosystem and degraded context redefining the urban life.
