SYNOPSIS:

Architecture begins with the spark of an idea, which grows, evolves and prepares itself to enter in the realm of physical world. Hence, architecture as material entity is a synthesis of how we redesign and restructure the world with the same primordial materials our ancestors did, but always searching for the new ways to shape and express our built environment. These new ways dene our continuous quest for novelty and the poetics with which we construct these novelties. Structures remain a fundamental dener of architecture and our world, while through tectonics we give expression to the materials we construct.

Architecture goes beyond utilitarian properties, it embodies hedonistic substance
