Evening Lectures
Through a catalogue of Mi5 architectural situations we’ll explain how to enhance your life re-describing the relations between the users, their bodies and the spaces. Since we started working we believe that design decisions must be oriented to intensify life; because our discipline is too often dedicated to its own self autopsy. Our work is always looking for situations amplifying our powers to perceive an augmented reality. We vindicate the architect as someone capable to envision new hidden energies in order to offer them to the users. If you want to change your architectural habits come and listen!
