Nature has traditionally been an area systematically positioned in a contraposition to architecture or artificial. I believe that one of the most important tendencies in recent years is the overcoming of this opposition between the natural and the artificial. This quite clearly has a direct effect on architecture; on the form in wish architecture is conceived as totality. I believe that the models of formal as structural complexity as well as of growth and chronological sequences are part of what was once the natural world. Suddenly wee that the field of architecture begins to shift within parameters previously used to describe nature

Artist Statement
Architecture is conditioned by objectivity, by rules, laws; this to explain the order of Urban Planning that is mixed in with the visual language of nature, of transformation, of topography, of climate, of society, of culture, of economy, of politics, of landscape, of planting and laying out; reflected in space and in time. It can be seen as a compendium that takes in architecture, urban planning and environment, made up of communities with a mixture of urban construction and living beings.

Matter, materials, the combination of elements, structure, foundations, installations and everything we call architecture, as well as infrastructure in its geographical exploitation by human evolution, technology and the crowding together of millions and millions of people, turns architecture into a global paradigm. All of this is a way of understanding architecture in its widest sense.
