ORGANIZER
CHORUS ARCHITECTURE may be a multidisciplinary platform for research and development in architecture and related fields (art, design, environment, sustainable development, etc.), which reflects on the re-appropriation of endogenous intelligence. so as to vary the system of values and therefore the factors of perception which oblige all to repair on a “distant” and ill-tamed ideal when it involves finding an answer to the daily problem…
Chorus articulates all this around its formula of historicity and re-appropriation (taking under consideration the immediate environment, preservation of the ecosystem, and projection of culture). However, we don’t claim to vary the planet and mentalities with the wave of a magic wand but we would like to make a convergence of ideas that might like us to ascertain in what we’ve greatness that has not yet been explored.
