Studium Architecturae - Florence Design School:
A NEW CONCEPT OF DESIGN SCHOOL: The characteristic of our method is that theory is combined with practice on real jobs environment where every day, every hour, we subvert ourselves and the world!
The students will participate in a real project within our firm. In fact we start from the clients' requests and we try to understand what they really want and we attempt to discover their true identity. The reason for this is that we need to create the clients' universe in the given space (residential or store or exhibition). In order to fully understand the clients' fragmented desire and needs, we must dedicate time to talk about them, both in the office and on site.
When we feel that we have gained an intimate knowledge of the clients and the spirit of the place (Genius Loci) we can begin to elaborate the three factors of composition:
a) Construction; b) Function; c) Beauty, that must come together to meet the clients' requests.
