AVANTGARDE METROPOLITAN

MANIFESTO

  1. We recognize the link between architecture and it’s tectonic, energetic background represented by the natural context being it Earth bounded or otherwise as being the one true metaphysical answer for tomorrow’s architecture and the natural way of the world. This link was once present in the way of life and will be regained once more through our architecture.
  2. The built environment represents the third skin and the direct link between user and the natural environment, thus it only makes sense that they have a strong connection so that the built will merge with the unbuilt and become one as a part of the big everything.
  3. The urbanistic background represents the anthropological answer for life support. It should represent an energetic and metaphysical connection between the user and its natural support system.
  4. Form has symbolic and energetic meaning. It has psychological influence over the user and shall not ever be used as formal decoration for only aesthetical purpose. Form, Structure, and Function are one. They should not be seen as separate entities but as a whole.
  5. Materials have physical and energetic properties. They represent filters, protectors, barriers, conductors, connections and they have strong influence over the usage of architecture as the third skin. They have psychological and energetic influence over the user and shall not ever be used as formal decoration for only aesthetical purpose.
  6. There is a time and place for everything that is or will be built. Respect the time. Respect the place.
  7. We are Avantgarde Metropolitan
