Slowa Architecture

WE ARE SLOWA, an Architecture firm based in Montevideo, Uruguay. The moment we understand that architecture is an artistic discipline, we must deduce the potentially qualified expressiveness it has, as well as the influence it causes in each individual as a whole -mind, body and soul, acting on itself with the sensory experience it brings. Architecture, as few know, is a discipline that gives us the tridimensional capacity to involve and influence each individual, which permits a deep and intense power of action. Sensor art. Multi-dimensional art. Experimental art. It is not only intense, but unrepeatable. Architecture strengthens the experience of being in-the-world. Each project should be a reflection of the individual, subjective reality. We see architecture as a strange environment which we are immersed, so we can experiment in a sensorial, stimulative, multimodal sense. We reject the reductionism and restriction of each individual experience in the world. We promote a stimulating and human architecture, a sensibility that permits a positive experience in all spaces, substances, place and meaning. The boredom of each individual is losing interest for reality. To exist, completely, is the sincere stimulation of all the senses. We comprehend the creative process as a job where the technical, creative and artistic exercise manifests its connection. We wish to construct a complex cognitive process, that will accompany the day-to-day living corners of architecture, stimulating and enriching. Architecture should be kinesthetic, textural, musmular and tactile. We expect our architecture to be a complex and intangible combination of each individuals subjective perception. Smells, sounds, textures and temperatures, tensions and equilibrium,weight, dynamic movement, gravity awarded. Pain and desire, colors, flavours and silent pauses, lights and shadows. Feel. Connect. Exist. WE WISH TO MAINTAIN THE CURIOSITY AND SENSUALITY OF EACH EXPERIENCE.
