More than a cultural, intellectual or technical practice, it requires an attentive look and listening to the world critically, a bit like a conductor who works and composes harmonies to be lived for the people using the space, in order to reach an aesthetic, functional and artistic end need to perceive the essence of a project, its operating territory and its occupants as a whole, a globality.
