go dancing with a building
don’t master mind architecture
touch the earth gently
architecture is air and light and time and space
and toilets and beds and kitchens and sinks
an architecture that emerges
from an intimate relation between life and form
architecture forms function
architecture is built by workers
a poem worth using
what else can we do inside a building?
an architecture of consequences
the next project as an unformulated need
where better than this place?
a fertile architecture
porous
close to ruins and follies
architectures as friends
spaces made up of weak and diffuse boundaries
GIUSTO VAN CAMPENHOUT
is an architecture office based in Brussels and Buenos Aires co-founded by Santiago Giusto and Nelson Van Campenhout in 2015. From these two singular contexts they work in projects that defend an architecture that forms function in an attempt to build an intimate relationship between life and form.

AMANIFESTO
Architecture emerges from desires of first necessity. Go dancing with a building. Architecture is built by workers. Don’t master mind architecture. Buildings as friends. Buildings are the artifacts in which architecture deploys all its potency. Buildings deteriorate. Like Bathrooms, spaces where the body is in direct relation with architecture. Spaces made up of weak and diffuse boundaries. A fertile architecture. Architecture made out of concrete or wood or steel always mixed with earth and water. Imagine you could piss in Duchamp’s Fontaine. An architecture of consequences. What else can we do inside a building? Where better than this place? An architecture that emerges from an intimate relation between life and form. Architecture forms function. The next project as an unformulated need.
