We shape our cities; thereafter they shape us.

We shape our cities; thereafter they shape us.

“Travels” documents emblematic interventions across territories in the form of a pocket travel guide. Visual storytelling combines project documentation, argumentation and a key signature with cross-references in time and space.

Open space is the long-lasting element within a world in transition. Landscapes, infrastructures, water systems, etc. mark the resilient continuity of the architectural identity, through novel co-creation processes, cooperation networks, and responsible awareness-raising.

As publishers of space, design, and art, we study how culture, human perception and architecture are intertwined. While the history of art and architecture teach us how socio-economic ideals are captured in urban design concepts, experience and practice indicate the opposite: multiple ways through which urban design generates societal conforms in turn.

Creating space is a cultural act that defines the way we are, and therefore spatial design plays a key role in the shaping of societies. Through this line, territories in transition are translated into spatial imprints of our environment, culture and societies.
