Publisher's Synopsis
For a decade, SLOT had the opportunity to work on a multitude of projects: public spaces, urban planning, industrial plants, as well as cultural, commercial, institutional, and residential buildings... The architectural languages of the projects undertaken by the studio are diverse, and they are an answer to different contexts and circumstances. The common ground all these projects share can be found in the same demand for exploration. The mathematical quest is a recurring obsession. Formal exploration in service of the site, the program and the desired intrinsic language is one of the main hallmarks of the firm.
The requirement of SLOT on the entirety of the projects had always been to question the established architectural blueprints. However, regarding housing, we are conscious that the codes of interaction and appropriation of space are strongly anchored in social habits and that these points of reference are necessary.
In which measure might the different architectural approaches of the firm find a pertinent answer to the specific situations of each housing project?
