Geologic Architecture

The idea of Geologic Architecture experienced in these occasions suggests a procedure that not only goes beyond the idea of work autonomous from its context, since it is composed of stratification and the juxtaposition of materials and sections, but also eliminates the boundary between background and object. Each transformation is a node connecting different materials and levels, stratifications of the Earth's crust and human communities, long durations and short times, and cyclic and unique, unrepeatable events. The opposition between nature and artifice disappears and new hybrid matter appears in which boundaries are no longer identifiable, and we are immersed in a hyper-natural environment. The forms of architecture, rather than mere technology, become a response to environmental issues. Even the idea of circularity is bent and reinterpreted within a temporal framework in which instants and long durations are intertwined.
