LET'S RETHINK ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING AND DESIGN FOR A HEALTHIER SYNERGY BETWEEN NATURE AND HUMANITY
Modern cities feel dull, insensitive, and standardized. They reflect a utilitarian vision stripped of personality and disconnected from context. In contrast, Nature teaches us that form, material, and force exist in an elegant harmony. Nothing is random, everything has purpose.
To confront the ecological and ethical crises of our time, we must move beyond systems that consume and isolate. We need structures that regenerate balance, engage with natural forces and coexist with their environments. It’s time to reconcile. To create architecture that restores our connection to the Earth.
A New Structural Culture
Architecture and engineering must cultivate not only technical performance, but also ecological awareness and ethical responsibility. At the intersection of structural art, computational intelligence, and sustainable design, the focus lies on discovering constructive forms rooted in physical laws, material behavior, and natural growth patterns.
By employing methods such as dynamic relaxation, 3D graphic statics, physical form-finding, and topological optimization, we develop generative processes that give rise to structures that are lightweight, efficient, resilient, and expressive: a synthesis of logic and poetry.
Craft and Digital Fabrication
We understand digital fabrication not as a break with tradition, but as its evolution and amplification.
This is not merely a question of aesthetics or innovation, it is a matter of necessity. The construction industry is responsible for nearly 40% of global carbon dioxide emissions, making it one of the most environmentally impactful sectors worldwide. Through a dialogue with centuries-old craft practices, we develop customized construction systems that respect material intelligence while embracing complex geometries and sustainable performance.
This synthesis of craft and code opens the door to structures that are both culturally rooted and technologically forward-thinking.
Parametric Design and AI as Collective Intelligence
Parametric Design and Artificial Inteligence enable the incorporation of responsive systems that integrate performance, context, and creative intent.
We are committed to create computational design tools to empower students, designers, and researchers around the world to experiment, collaborate, and innovate with form-finding, morphogenetic and AI algorithms.
Through this, we aim to cultivate a global community driven by curiosity, openness, and shared learning.
PS: THESE STRUCTURES WERE CREATED USING STRUCTURAL DESIGNER. TRY IT HERE!!
We design with the conviction that Architecture can reconnect us to Nature
We call for a profound shift, from a human-centered paradigm to one that is Nature-centered.
This means understanding each design not as an isolated artifact, but as part of a living, dynamic system, shaped by multiple interactions and embedded consequences.
In this new paradigm, buildings, objects, and infrastructures are not merely static, they can grow, adapt, and integrate. The landscape is no longer a passive backdrop, but a space of coevolution for all species.
