VISION: Sensation in Motion
"Architecture is something that you can see, you can touch, you can hear and you can smell." Architecture also is a lifeform, breaths, evolves and transforms, because nature and design tempt one another, follow one another, and transcend one another. That vision entails us to bring design to a cyclic system. Being inside the cycle might demand you to be adaptable, changeable, or might be you who should lead the change. Therefore, our team is always on the lookup for new and innovative ways to transcend the built environment. However, once we’ve realized that architecture is infamously slow in regard to other disciplines: film, product design, fashion, and multimedia, the belief in interdisciplinary and experimental design came to be our worldview. Therefor, we approach our designs with fresh eyes and enthusiasm, taking our industry in exciting directions, offering new frontiers and techniques, such as parametric modeling and digital fabrication. Consequently, each of our designs is post-typological, and unique where tectonics and structures are weaved together to represent a form of culture and a form of identity.
