We have always tried to make the most of the environment in which our projects exist as a whole and create a seemingly clear and explicit composition in which all the complexity and contradictions of what we found are present. From this perspective, the time, places and people we encounter provide us with infinite possibilities for architectural interventions; and very often some tempting solutions in front of us are just waiting for someone to wish for them. Looking back, we realize that this constant game of challenges led us to certain unexpected results; and widening our notion of an architectural environment, digging deeper and deeper into it, we can easily go beyond it.
