Puglia, Italy
Along the rocky coastline of Puglia, Italy, we have developed a series of architectural installations that emerge from fundamental desires, or urges, that often lack a clear physical outlet. Our starting point is a set of simple yet charged “how to” questions. These questions express more than mere actions; they articulate a deep yearning for connection with the landscape. Because such acts are often impossible or incomplete in reality, we design architectural interventions that make them possible.

What we design with this project is beyond the physical parts and materiality. It is more an understanding, a language to designing itself. By its unique style and relations with the nature, the reality of the project coming to understand beyond human centered design. It powered by more simple urges yet the start of any decade after some leds. This primitive-like installations are a key to understand how to design with nature, how to use surroundings and how to talk with nature by placing yourself as a part of it
