About US

PPAA is driven by an architecture of ideas over an architecture of forms. We conceive architecture as an open medium and message, one that is constantly put to test, to the multiple relations that are in its surroundings. We follow an inclination for nature, where the weather, soil, textures, and other factors—along with the gradients in each factor—create a sensorial atmosphere. We like to think that the way we have of understanding architecture implies that work cannot be done without considering both communal and personal intentions. Therefore, our conception of architecture is based on an understanding of the body and the relationship everyone establishes with their surroundings. Taking this into account, each project seeks to be an extension or support of our experience, personal as well as spatial. We believe that this can be summed up in the architectural rehearsal, which is the way that modern architecture should be understood. The architectural rehearsal is a vehicle of approaching ourselves; the more we rehearse, the more we understand us. Furthermore, in order for architecture to be capable of conveying an idea or intention, it has to speak of the individual, or the sum of individuals, and the way they relate to their environment, in both a sensorial and emotional level.

PPAA的驱动力是思想的建筑而不是形式的建筑。我们认为建筑是一个开放的媒介和信息，一个不断被测试的媒介和信息，与周围环境的多重关系。我们遵循自然的倾向，天气、土壤、纹理和其他因素--连同每个因素的梯度--创造了一种感觉上的氛围。我们愿意认为，我们理解建筑的方式意味着，如果不考虑公共和个人的意图，就不能完成工作。因此，我们对建筑的概念是基于对身体和每个人与周围环境建立的关系的理解。考虑到这一点，每个项目都力求成为我们经验的延伸或支持，既是个人的也是空间的。我们相信，这可以用建筑排练来概括，这也是现代建筑应该被理解的方式。建筑排练是接近我们自己的一个载体；我们排练得越多，就越能理解我们。此外，为了使建筑能够传达一种想法或意图，它必须讲述个人或个人的总和，以及他们与环境的关系，在感官和情感层面。
