Global Mini-Series: AMAA

Marcello Galiotto and Alessandra RampazzoCo-founders, AMAA Collaborative Architecture Office For Research And Development COLLECTORS OF RUINS - A WAY OF WORKING The architecture is the result of a complex process, not unique, never equal to itself nor linear, based on the continuous critical work on the available design options. AMAA shares its research on the working method: a specific way of working that makes every single occasion a moment of wider research, aimed at a continuous experimentation with a rich use of study models. An approach that focuses on the search for a continuity of thought, more than formal. During the lecture some AMAA will present some of their latest projects, expressions of the architectural research of the studio and occasions of comparison on the theme of the reuse of the existing architectural heritage and on the continuous tension between old and new, between tradition and contemporaneity

On Time, Memory, Methods and Craft

AMAA offre riflessioni sul processo del progetto a partire dal lavoro sul recupero architettonico e morfologico dell’ex-base militare di Monte Calvarina. Il libro è parte dell’installazione di AMAA “It’s Kind of a Circular Story” per la 18 Mostra di Architettura della Biennale di Venezia e consolida quella conoscenza necessaria sulla quale si fonda il processo creativo. Il volume racconta della ricerca e della trasversalità nell’approccio che lo studio mette in atto nel continuo coinvolgimento delle diverse arti. Accumulando e accogliendo diversi punti di vista e contributi artistici, AMAA prova qui a raccontare così il suo fare architettura. / AMAA offers cause for reflection on the process of the project for the architectural and morphological renewal of the former military base in Monte Calvarina.
