Archetipo, Abu Dhabi, UAE, 2017

Archetipo is a garden where architecture and nature dance together in continuous connections and contrasts, whose peculiarities, in the Renaissance meaning, are filtered, absorbed and interpreted by the contemporary man. Elements of absolute geometry such as spheres, cubes, and planes cut and break up classical harmonies. The overall effect results in a continuous evolution of architectural abstractions and evanescent distortions.

An absolute landscape that develops itself through an inverse process: nature grows and evolves on the imaginary space, trying to give shape and matter to human visions. The transparent architecture determines the interpretation of natural orders, with small visual poems in which these two worlds prove to be parallel and intersected at the same time. Nature is a synthesis of landscape, man becomes landscape through architecture. The fusion of classical and modernist language generates a third one which find its time in the contemporaneity.

Archetipo has been designed and built within a royal event in Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with Dubai-based studio Designlab Experience.
