In our globalised practice, we operate towards specificity, towards providing a precise response to a place, a culture and a situation. But we are also interested in establishing a relationship with a more general abstract, scientific, common kind of thinking; in constructing a globally comprehensible language.
In this sense, both as a strategy of rootedness and as an expression of primitive, common logics, we are interested in using craftsmanship as an instrument for the materialisation of the project.
