Approach to nature

Working at the interface between architecture, art and digital processes, we are committed to the use of the new technological developments for the digital fabrication and the performative character of architecture to create intelligent structures in emulation of nature.

In a very delicate moment when the climate change is endangering the future of our next generations, the agenda of our team is to lead Pilot Projects at Global Warming Scenarios.

If we consider Jeremy Rifkin’s theory, buildings represent 35-40% of the climate change problem. As architects, we are the main cause of climate change, so we need to take it seriously. If our problem is CO2 emissions, our solution is to act at the same scale, a particle that acts againts a particle, so our way is Architecture of Particles.

The place becomes millions of dots data, information about humidity, salinity, CO2, photosynthesis, geothermal, dynamics that we are able to manage with digital tools. The landscape is particle, and architecture has to be particles, arhitecture is landscape, landscape is a building.

We do smart buildings, and let’s not forget that trees are smart, they know where the water is, the direction of wind, the temperature, so, what about setting biosensors on the trees? And let the trees tell the building what to do. The buildings are run by the trees.
