HOSPITABLE

Welcoming guests or strangers warmly and generously. A foundational human ritual to architecture. The Earth was inhabitable way before Homo Sapiens. Architects role is to make the Earth more hospitable. What makes a place and a building hospitable? In the complex confluence of individual and collective freedom, climate destruction, fragile hope, means of production, emotions, survival and welcoming others, how can architects make hospitable places?

Search questions

As a consequence of our search as architects, we also produce understanding and knowledge made of words -written and spoken. This search revolves around twelve constant themes, questions we don’t have a definitive answer to yet. This knowledge is not just a by-product of our activity, but rather an instrumental part that develops simultaneously and is imbricated in building. Search Questions is our sisyphean effort to organize and share this knowledge while it's blossoming, fragile and unstable. By doing so, a more specific understanding, and more refined questions emerge.
