The Amateur… makes the unpredictable possible
The Amateur is driven by a passion and interest. He wants to share his culture and knowledge to create high quality architecture in opposition to an ever-growing consumer system that stifles originality. The suggested approach draws on the economic model of the cooperative, in which builders and beneficiaries work together to adapt the local heritage. An emphasis on drawing as a tool of dialogue generates a comprehensive architecture. This approach has the versatility to adapt to diverse territorial contexts, through a non-interventionist political sharing of skills and power between specialist and citizen.
