AirLab focuses on the integration of new technologies, advances in architecture, and provocation into meaningful designs.
Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
AirLab focuses on the integration of new technologies, advances in architecture, and provocation into meaningful designs. We love exploring the possibilities of using new technologies in sustainable design: upcycling, recycling and trying to build lighter or less materially dense structures all while challenging new aesthetics.
Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
Society is really becoming aware of the scarcity of building resources and we’re seeing an increasing demand for recycled and upcycled materials. There’s a need for change in both the way we conceive spaces and the way we build spaces.
When was your last exhibition and where was it? And when do you want to hold your next exhibition?
My work has been selected for the Venice Biennale of Architecture this year 2021. As part of the Spanish Pavilion, AIRMESH will be displayed as a proof of concept of a 3D printed space using stainless steel; moreover, the Option Studio on Articulated Vertical Landscapes that I run in collaboration with Prof. Toni Kotnik and Prof. Pia Fricker will be exhibited, displaying a selection of student's works.
What skills are most important for a designer?
We can’t just ignore the fundamentals of the practice because then the design gets cold. The replacement of that historical sensitivity and intuition can lead to a wrong understanding of design. We need to develop a new kind of sensitivity that integrates the technology with the fundamentals
What are your future plans? What is next for you?
I want to integrate what we study in AirLab into larger constructions and buildings; not just in research pieces but in new structures and developments. I want to bring the design thinking that we use at Subarquitectura to AirLab and, by the end of the year, to begin to merge these two parts of my work into an extended practice
