Experimenting is what leads us to new approaches…

As laboratory, as lab or as studio, ‘integrated’ or ‘vertical’ the course of architectural design is always the decisive melting pot of interdisciplinary, the efficient catalyst of architectural knowledge, the powerful multiplier of architectural creativity, the effective developer of a framework of thinking, understanding and doing architecture. It is the dynamic ‘heterotopia’ where the articulation and integration of architectural ideas take place, through experimentation, critique, confrontation, exchange, argumentation, debate or even imposition. It always appears as a promising invitation to a serious commitment, determined engagement, deliberated dreaming and passionate search for the new, the other, the innovative, the experimental.
