Each project is a conceptual and creative adventure that requires imagination and endurance. This adventure, in which I engage with my team, draws on all kind of sources of inspiration: from our past, present and future, as well as our direct and indirect environments. At the end, each one of these adventures must engender a timeless and progressive solution for mankind. Presently, my research strongly focuses on two of the five senses Ethe touch and the sightEwhich I interpret as the touch of a building. For me, the building envelop Ewhat I call the third skin; the first being our natural skin, the second our clothing Eacts as an intelligent skin. Like the human skin, recognizing the heat and the cold, the dry and the humid, air velocities and like the human eye, recognizing the different shades of light and acting according to it, the third skin must assume a perfect conceptual and technological coordination between the architectural, the structural, the mechanical and the electrical components and the inner spaces. This human environment I progressively attempt to improve with different technologies and different innovative materials, is also enriched by permanent research of fluidity patterns, providing an overwhelming sensation of weightlessness within the realms of the real and the unreal. My buildings are made to transmit in various ways and give materiality to the vibrations governing our floating universe. |
