At StudioArte we practice architecture as an imagination exercise to exceed the expectations and translate the dream lifestyle in a space that allows to live it fully and uncompromisingly. For us, architecture serves life first, since it enables the betterment of human lifestyle and interaction. We draw inspiration from the beautiful country we live in, from the stories its buildings tell, and from the canvas its nature provides.
We see time spent on competitions as freedom where our creativity can express itself with no limitations. At the same time, it is an opportunity to break the daily routine and think about new architectural concepts and strategies.
Participating in architecture competitions is always worth it because the challenge mode pushes you to do your best and develop concepts that in other situations would not see the light of day. Moreover, it is a really good training moment where you are thrilled to learn new skills.
