CAMPOPIANO.architetti, founded in 2020 by Juan M. Campopiano and Lucia R. Cardona, is grounded in a vision of architecture as a discipline that transcends mere functionality to explore the intersections between space, theory, and human experience. The studio seeks to strip architecture of all artifice, reducing it to its purest essence: an elemental system of geometric rules that acts as a conceptual framework. Within this framework, life and its complexities find a stage to unfold freely and authentically, where each project becomes a reflection on the interplay between order and spontaneity, permanence and transformation.
