Context

The importance we attach to context is evident. In reality, context provides both the form and the content of our projects. In the theoretical debate between hyper-urbanism and sub-urbanism, we find ourselves in an uncomfortable position. Due to the sheer size of our projects, we are involved in the construction of megastructures; but, at the same time, for us, the architecture of these gigantic edifices can only be born of the context which, strictly speaking, serves as their matrix. Yet, in all case, the process we apply is a simple one – before us, there is the landscape, even if it is an exclusively urban one; after us, the landscape remains, regardless of whether our projects scratch, lacerate, flatter, or magnify it.
