‘There is no human mind without a body. You must recover your awareness of the physical World, One way is to produce fragile objects, systems, space which are meaningfull only through the body, being all At once physical, social and political, Architecture may be a tool to emphasize Our sense and sharpen Our consciousness of reality, which tends to be erased by over-information, egocentrism and control. Experiencing fragility.’

Am I working from home or living inside an office?
By blurring architectural typologies we create new kind of spaces and at the same time we let different functions mix with each other. If my perception of a space is vague, am I still capable of understanding what a space is and how to use it? Am I enabled to use an office as a home, or am I silently ‘invited’ to do it?

Quickborner`s plan for Osram`s Munich office, 1965.

During the 50’s a Germany based movement called Bürolandschaft started to investigate a new plan typology based on the idea that a non-hierarchical asset would improve social interaction and the circulation of ideas.

In opposition to the rigid rationalist tradition, the organic schemes of Bürolandschaft set many principles of the contemporary office plans.

L’obiettivo della cartografia non è la sola rappresentazione del vero, ma l’interpretazione del mondo. Una mappa è la proiezione di un desiderio, sia esso personale o condiviso.
