We are a team of consultants and researchers, dedicated to creation of spaces that focus on shaping interaction.
We believe that architecture plays a vital role in human activity. We focus on tailoring spaces of sustainable interaction between users and their environment. To fulfill this goal, we know that architecture must contemplate where, when, and how it performs:
Architecture should read the context.
It should embody the culture, sociology, economy, politics, technical capabilities... in other words, all human activity along which it performs.
Architecture should be proactive.
To keep up with the fast changing nature of human activity, design needs to be proactive rather then reactive. Good design should have a vision for the future, yet be versatile enough to adapt the unplanned.
Architecture should shape interaction.
It should inspire new and better ways to explore and to experience. Being at the base of all human activity, design should facilitate interaction between the subject and the object of experience.
“Architecture is a social act and the material theater of human activity.”*
