TOWARDS SYSTEMIC-DIGITAL THINKING

 

We share the ideology of generating a contemporary architecture that addresses its time and place, as a way of contributing to the cultural progress of society through the production of collective knowledge. That is why our studio was conceived with the philosophy of stimulating a constant interaction between the academia and the professional scenario, between research and practice. This design research is what feeds our role as university professors, as well as the importance given to postgraduate studies as a source of experimentation and continuous feedback.

 

The rapid and sustained development over time of new technological processes emerges as a pivotal design concern, motivated by obtaining the synthesis of two worlds that seem opposites: digital and material. Incorporating digital systems allows the architect to reliably monitor the processes of design and manufacturing, providing new opportunities even with traditional materials. Architectural design is understood as a system of symbiotic relationships, becoming a hybrid between intuition and systemic thinking. Being more emphatic on processes rather than forms.

 

Our works are the product of several endeavors: clients' commissions, entrepreneurship, competitions, research, lectures and academic writings. They cover a range of different scales, but designed following the same principles. They are divided into 3 categories for easy tracking: research, project and built. The order in which these categories are arranged responds to the logical sequence we believe architectural thought must be developed.

 

In response to the intellectual demand present in the core of the studio, this practice is established as a space of speculation shaped ​​by professionals and students, free from the pressures of traditional architectural practice. 3dF [architects] aims to promote a permanent debate about the development of contemporary architecture, trying to understand where to position our architecture and giving a persuasive value to the utopian, understood not as impossible but as something that has not been developed or materialized yet.

 

Every project is conceived as a unique opportunity that should be treated as such, always thought as a response to a specific demand. We believe in taking risks for solving projects, incurring into research processes, where often a work is a continuation of the previous one, generating rich interrelationships between them as part of an evolutionary process. Continuity is not related with repetition: the evolutionary thinking is the constant, is what pushes us forward, what motivates us to try to be contemporary.
