In the ever-convoluted epoch we inhabit, architecture finds itself at the crossroads of profound inquiries. It is a discipline forever entangled in a web of intricate complexities, constantly adapting to the multifaceted realities of our time.
The core tenet of our architecture practice is a continuous search for simplicity within the complex realities that surround us. We’ve developed a design synthetic process that includes various tools and methods, forming a multidimensional approach to our creative endeavors. These tools, the instruments of our quest, are not a mere means to an end or a finalized image but vessels of constant abstraction, pushing us to distill each new project into deep structures while retaining all layers of complexity. As our projects increase in complexity, our pursuit of simplicity becomes increasingly essential.
It is not the simplicity of ignorance but the simplicity born of deep understanding. It is the process of unearthing the essence from the labyrinth of complexities that envelop us. Therefore, architecture becomes a framework of life, waiting to be unveiled in all its manifestations.
39 podiums,1 text + 38 Artifacts.
Amongst them, sketches, drawings, models, paintings, and visualizations converge, standing as “stills” that encapsulate a dynamic process in motion. Each fragment signifies a pivotal pause in our compositional process – a moment of profound contemplation, dialogue, disagreement, or introspection. For us, this carefully curated collection of pauses embodies the essence of our synthetic process: a deliberate sequence of contemplated interruptions, an enduring resistance to the relentless demands of contemporary complexity.
