La casa del Paguro!

From biology to craftmanship. A possible marine research center for the benthic fauna of the north sea. The belief in contradiction as a possible way to determine tension in design lead the whole exploration. How an architectural composition can relate to environmental conditions, so how natural and artificial collide, how smooth and rigid interact or how space and time dialogue. Basically understanding the ambiguity of compromise. La casa del Paguro has also been guided by a clear parametric approach that controlled every phase of the design from the biggest scale to the smallest one. A traversal method that tests minor changes in comparison to the overall composition, a rational development of options, a way to systematize intuition, a sort of ritual to guide creativity. A framework of design that is strongly related to its own body of tool both in terms of architectural composition and architectural fabrication. How a fully digital script or a massive foam modeling can determine the formal results or how a machine can impose his presence by radically changing the properties of materials. A biologically understanding of reality that can lead a geometrical inquiry of space through a craftsmanship like idea of Architecture. Finally we can notice how five different topics can inform five different scales reinventing every time the project form within.
