“ The industrial architecture project is a great opportunity to rethink the connection of
architecture-nature , bringing the individual back into focus .
ARCHITECTS CASE STUDY
READING THE TERRITORY AND THE INTERNAL SPACE
The studio simultaneously deals with the production processes and the relationships between artifice and nature , foreground and background , working environments , and outdoor spaces . Each project is designed to become one with the landscape , reinforcing its presence within its surroundings .
ZOOM LENS – SHAPE AND MATTER
Architecture must balance different reading scales , from the overview to the most minute details . GEZA bases its projects on this approach , changing perspective from the outside to the inside , switching zoom lenses from the big scale to the singular element in order to guarantee the quality of their work . In this way , the architecture doubles its function to bring new identities to both the territory and the human beings ’ everyday life .
RIGOROUS ESSENTIALITY OF FORMS
Industrial architecture is physically very impactful in regard to the territory and the landscape - as are infrastructures - and thus must be responsibly designed to merge with the environment in a gentle and timeless manner .
The definition of simple acts guarantees a measurable relationship with the territory : horizontal and vertical , repetition and rhythm , light and shadow , straight and curved lines , coloured and neutral marks , black and white .
MONOCHROMIC AND MATERIALITY
Monochromic , pure colours and materials allow for exploration of different surfaces , depths , thoughts , gradients , tactile sensations , and light interactions . Black and white are harsh , neutral colours , yet they merge harmoniously with the natural elements . They are , in fact , a means to highlight two things : the landscape , green hues painted , and the human being , made of dynamic colours himself that blur into nature when in action .
