CAMPO is not merely a business-oriented partnership, but a confluence of motivated professionals who
seek – above all – to engage architecture, urban planning and landscape design
though complex and multi-disciplinary juxtapositions. The different
backgrounds of each member of CAMPO are not accidental. Our
different, yet complementary, experiences in several design and planning fields
facilitate an intensive exchange of ideas that enables us to approach our
professional challenges more comprehensively.
The work methodology of CAMPO aud involves a
distinct kind of critical pragmatism, one that synchronizes direct action with
intensive conceptual research. The different scales – from architectural
details to planning decisions – are dealt with constant flows of approximation
and distancing. TWe are able to promote direct architectural responses to
different stimuli from the urban and natural environments, and vice-versa.
The partners and staff of the office share common
histories of successful past collaborations in different practices and in
academia. If it was possible to map a genealogy our partnership, a coherent
branching of professional relationships would emerge to highlight important
precedents of past collaborations.
