Search questions

As a consequence of our search as architects, we also produce knowledge made of words -written and spoken. Our own search revolves around twelve constant themes, things we don’t have a definitive answer to yet, which we present here as questions. This knowledge is not just a by-product of our activity, but rather an instrumental part that develops simultaneously and is imbricated in building.
