Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

#33 KOSMOS (www), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD


Listen Later

For our 33rd stop, we’re going a bit all around the world with KOSMOS, an architecture practice whose tone is set  by Leonid Slonimskiy and Artem Kitaev.


KOSMOS don’t do architecture as one is supposed to do architecture. Yet, they claim they do nothing new…everything they do “already exists”.

Rather than abstract statements, they focus on the specific issues within surrounding conditions, aiming to create architecture that reflects and subtly shifts these realities.

For KOSMOS, less is more…in the sense that “the less we propose to do with our project, the happier we are with it.”

“To us, it is very important to see the project as something that is not possible now/today, but something that is possible in a year or two. It should be very real in these terms.”

Using their words, “Innovation [is] introduced by requirements, not by our subjective vision.”

To them “like life without humor,” architecture without life “doesn’t make sense”.

They are right, I guess.
