Between metaphor and business |
Study and make design look easy for the people who doesn’t know the matter. “Do pretty things”, no. To arrive to a simple design you have to go through many considerations. Society, material, costs, ecological impact, technology… and one of the most difficult but beautiful, metaphor. Make art from design and make and statement can carry a great personal satisfaction, but the truth is, design can be a dirty business too. |

Mario Cuchinella Architects: “We have to imagine buildings that only have a minimun of visible technology, and maximize instead the efficiency of form, as materials change to become an active part in the final result, silently performing a task, a function, and becoming part of the new circular economy”. Seems that they have a defined panorama. |
