06_02_09 \"Experimental seeds - Resist, rise your hands and create!\" Marco Galofaro To leave a sign we make use of the hand’s acceptance of agility and memory. Building a model has nothing to do with the practice of architecture. The first step exists before the project; it is a neutral space that is home to the first seed. This space is without borders, there are no walls, it exists only to capture intentions and other energies. It does not have the direct responsibility that the project will assume later, that of ensuring results. Entering into this field has meaning if we are seeking fragments. The seed is composed of two opposites, both long lasting: the ability to absorb nutrients from the soil and the ability to include part of its future and that of others in its evolution. It under¬stands evolution without demanding the right to survive at all costs. The seed inhabits this ‘before’, in which there is no wrong or reason; reason is an enclosed capsule that uses its voice to be heard. Seeds have no voice. They can become present only in the mind. MODELAB Modelab was founded in 2002 by the architect Marco Galofaro. Modelab is about the investigation and use of new, experimental materials, such as resin and rubber 3d printer, in the construction of architectural and design models with the more traditional materials of plastic, wood and plaster. Our primary objective is the construction of architectural and urban planning models; our primary concern is the creation of objects that are capable of surprising both our¬selves and our clients through the continuous reinvention of combinations and treatments of materials.
