Arch. Marcello Galiotto / Arch. Alessandra Rampazzo

AMAA Collaborative Architecture Office For Research And Development

http://www.amaa.studio

San Marco 2504, Venice, Italy
AMAA was created in 2012 by M. Galiotto and A. Rampazzo based on the experience of working alongside M. Carmassi and S. Fujimoto. The professional practice is combined with academic researches and with their role as TA: they are both graduated at Iuav in 2010 where they also completed their PhD (2015, 2017). They are used to work with a variety of scales thanks to a multidisciplinary team and consultants. From 2015 AMAA has a branch office in Arzignano (Vi), in addition to the one in Venice.

FINAL OUTCOME


AMAA Workshop

FINAL OUTCOME


AMAA Workshop
THEORY - ORDER - FINAL OUTCOME (a practice manner): the making of a language in architecture from the research of a background, the construction of the idea to its development into the order of the project and the accomplishment for the final outcome.

Type of project
  • Site-specific cases

Architecture is the result of a complex process, not linear and based on the continuous review of multiple options available with a critical attitude. It is a practice manner based on the primary role of the Idea. The act of Doing researches a balance between the three steps of working on architecture: theory, order and the final outcome. Theory is a synthesis of the background made of models, references, words and other contributions coming from other disciplines. Order transforms this background into design with a deep connection with the city, its history and its layers. The real challenge is to preserve the essence of that idea during the entire process until its final outcome. The result is a two-storey box that hosts the new AMAA branch office inside a former vaulted factory. Everything appears for what it is: the thin steel frame structure, the concrete and metal slab, the path of the electrical system with its pipes, plugs and switches, the metal frame of the windows.
