History

Philosophy

Architecture-Studio defines architecture as "an art that is socially committed and engaged in the construction of mankind's living environment". Architecture-Studio's work is based on group culture, developing a real team work through a collective conception of Architecture; a will to go beyond individual interests in favour of dialogue and debate, thereby transforming all individual knowledge into collective creative potential.
Architecture-Studio believes that this also involves being open to encounters that can alter the way of thinking or, at least, inflect it. This approach is a key to the conception process; a process which is not linear but iterative, not static but dynamic, not only intellectual and abstract but organic and concrete.
