2010A competition of ideas for sustainable places for industrial production. As always, I looked for the soul not in the shape of the building, but in its intended function. Not in the cliché of administrative and commercial places, but in the power of those where workers work.

A work shared with other craftsmen who come from outside to order their machined and semi-finished pieces they contribute to create. This is about the production of unfinished semi-finished products, an intermediate production that stimulated the design of the new building of the company.

An architecture of relationships. This term does not fit craft activities, but it provided the basis for our choices. This strong tension created by an intermediate processing that needs a connection with what came before and what comes after. An architecture that is not absolute, open to dialogue, to transformation, to evolution.

A humble architecture that wants to dialogue without imposing its will, and which for this very reason is captivating, as it presents itself in a non-definitive way as do the wise, the masters, the craftsmen. An architecture that inspires dialogue about it, that encourages to discuss just like people discuss a piece of sheet metal that turns into a ladder, a tank, a shelf.
