Overview
Architecture is an art, the art of creating space, of creating emptiness from fullness. Where the process is as important as the result.
Architecture must be contextual, but in the broadest sense: geographical - from the micro-place to the cosmos-historical, cultural...
A project must leave an "enriched" place after its construction. The architect shapes matter as an extension of nature by means of geometry as a link between tangible reality and the world of ideas.
Architecture must be aesthetically desirable, constructively reasonable and socially justifiable.
Architecture has to function, to respond to needs within economic and social parameters, to use all possible techniques, but never as an end in itself, but as a means to achieve higher goals.
Our job is to build exterior spaces so that people can come into contact with their interior space.
