Space, Form 

I am pretty clear what architecture means to me, and after 50 years of being in this profession on three continents, I will not change my mind. There are great architects out there, and I just hope they see clearly the development of our profession. It is not about YOU anymore, it is about the survival of our planet. Please take this seriously!

Architecture is an emotional experience.

When artificial intelligence is used to build superstructures, then the human input can only be done by designers with great imagination and vision. High-Tech is terrific if it is applied to social benefit. We forget so quickly that everything we make, including artificial intelligence, comes from the raw materials of this planet.

I can see that people are fascinated by monstrous shiny skyscrapers, but the reality is, that this is nothing more than modern human anthills. Who wants to live there with thousands of others?

We should integrate the beauty of Nature harmoniously into our architecture. The grand design of Nature (mountains, valleys, meadows, lakes, streams, oceans shores) gives us enough inspiration to follow the idea to compliment Nature, instead of destroying it.

Hogr is founder and CEO of GoshaArch GoshaArch is involved in designing and realizing a diverse array of urban, cultural and commercial projects around the globe. GoshaArch is a collaboration of architects and designers that believe architecture is a practice of optimism. GoshaArch approach our projects with the attitude that to make great places, you must believe in the future, with respect of the past.

GoshaArch architecture emerges from the idea that a designs should be expressive and reflect contemporary life. Innovation is at the core of our design process. We believe that bold design must be realized with sustainable technology and we strongly believe that the art of architecture lies in creating a maximum impact within the constraints of budgets and functionality. We know from experience that great architecture comes from working with great clients; however, architecture is a public art and we hold ourselves accountable not only to the client, but to the communities, and cities in which we build.

In my studio, we made a commitment to making cities better places to live. We believe that architecture and design matter, and that through our work, we can make a positive difference in the world. We strive to create buildings that are not just things in themselves but serve as catalysts for positive urban and social change.

Giuseppe Parisi (*1989) graduated in the Architecture and Interior Design department of Aversa, Italy. He founded an Interdisciplinary Office after several experiences with different national and international practices in his hometown. The approach of his work explores the relationship between the Sense, the Form and the Materials. The goal of his idea is to achieve beauty characterized by few targeted choices. The areas of his work include design on various scales, from private houses to residential complexes, planning and requalification of public buildings, offices and accommodation facilities. In 2018 he received the NIB Under 36 Architecture Award and today he is among the young emerging italian architects.

I have had a lot of work in Africa where the political situation has become unsustainable today. I'm used to solving problems in difficult situations, I like traveling even if I have daughters.

I built a € 1,000,000 cinema without site mechanization and won an award for an important research center built on the ground. I have always used only what I found on the spot in an advanced technical manner. I paid attention to natural energy, using natural ventilation techniques combined with sophisticated systems controlled by very simple software.

I used Odroid cards in rural areas with Android as software, training young illiterates with great success. 

Daniel's architectural focus deals with a design that emphasizes the environment and its culture, incorporating sustainability, new technologies, and functionality. Material selection and construction process are also fundamental pillars of good architecture.

As an Architectural Designer, I am drawn towards holistic designs that cultivate positive changes in the built environment. I believe in the ability of architecture, research and critical design thinking to create a better world. I have been blessed to involve with wide varieties of projects from commercial, public, residential architecture to art installations which shaped me into a skilled, thoughtful and conscientious designer.
