MFA is an architectural office involved in architecture, urban and landscape design both in private and public sectors. The acquired experience through several years in France, Belgium and Italy enabled to gain a high-level practice, in which architectural research plays a leading role. MFA lays the foundations for an architecture whose project development becomes an opportunity for research and deep experimentation. In each architecture, urban planning and landscape design, the main purpose is to perceive
The project is set up as an opportunity to bond what has been artificially divided in the city of Teramo, starting from the peculiarities of the existing environmental system: in opposition to the existing serial-functionalist scheme, the project is parallel to the curves of the soil, interpreting them as an element of continuity which integrates different levels of intervention, through both a logic of “grip” of the building and respecting the construction phases required.
