描述

AMAG 30 presents the work from three scandinavian offices (ATELJÉ Ö | JOHANSEN SKOVSTED | NORRØN) in which we recognize an intersection of approaches and unequivocal common values: functionalism, empiricism and mastery. Functionalism that is reflected in the search for a response to programmatic and well-being needs, empiricism that focuses on respect and adaptability of the building to the place, and the mastery clearly visible in the rigor with which constructive details and respected ancestral references are guided.

AMAG PT 01 is the first title from the new series of AMAG MAGAZINE, exclusively dedicated to PORTUGUESE ARCHITECTURE.

This 1st issue features 7 projects fully detailed from the work of Diogo Aguiar studio. A Portuguese studio based in Porto and established in 2016 that operates across the fields of Art and Architecture, designing small buildings and interiors, as well as temporary or fixed spatial installations destined for the public space, with the belief that a dual practice informs and boosts the work undertaken, as a speculative and spatial investigation. Its interests lie in the material and sensorial exploration of immersive architectural or artistic spaces, whether archetypal or ready-made, through geometric, abstract and elementary compositions, which present themselves as formal systems aware of the simultaneous experience of (a space’s) fullness and (a space’s) emptiness, seeking to reclaim the relevance of the shaping of space in Architecture.
