Purposes:
Leave the certainties to assume that doubt can be a valuable creative material and that any progress on those unknown frontiers should be done walking between boldness and caution. The reality that conditions every project cannot be lived as an impurity that overshadows the architectural creation but as a challenge which affirms the production of it.
Use the necessity of production as an opportunity to think about the concepts that sustain it and be able to push boundaries of that knowledge.
The production of architecture cannot rely on the appearance of the image; its physical presence is responsible of giving sense and emotional character to the spaces.
This physical and tangible condition of architecture is part of its essence and therefore is present as a concept from the very beginning of any proposal.
The aesthetic quality must be found in the essence of architecture and in a gradual and meticulous strip of what it is not.
Build with simple shapes and a limited repertoire of materials not only as aesthetic choice but as an ethical principle of valuing a conscious use of the resources available.
Disbelieve of specialization and instead promote new research and implementation issues.
