GG-loop - architecture, design, research

GG-loop is an architectural practice established 2014 in Amsterdam by Giacomo Garziano. The offices works within an international network, deriving its strength from an interdisciplinary approach. We work on different scales, ranging from urban planning to industrial design. GG-loop is also involved in art projects, such as video installations, digital sculpture and music performances, embracing various creative fields. We believe that architecture, as answer to a spatial demand, cannot be merely functional. Every space needs to tell a story. This story acts as filter between functional request and creative intuition. Our main goal in the design process is to create a unique question, based on the analysis of context, necessities, possibilities and constraints. This question will create a unique answer, that will create another unique question, that will create another unique answer, a loop. Creativity, technical solutions and financial facts are fed into this loop, to finally obtain an answer that equally satisfies all the questions coherently, producing noble architecture. A good architect for us is a scientist, able to arrange components in harmonious proportions creating a totally new element, a composer enabling the orchestra to perform his piece in the best way.
