The team creates work that is characterised by its responsiveness to the local environment and climate, its dynamism of ‘adjustable skins’, and its connectivity of interior and exterior spaces. The team states that they aim to develop ‘a non-constant architecture that responds to the morning, the evening, the season, the heat, the cold, the sun, the rain, the moment that will never pass again’. Troppo’s installation reflects the responsiveness to place and moment that informs their work.
Portrait of Troppo Architects 2009
by David Lancashire
David Lancashire has created a set of portraits that situate the Troppo Architects team in five diverse, immersive, and highly-textured natural environments that reflect the regions in which their offices are based. ‘In these portraits I wanted to show the strong connection Troppo Architects have with a sense of place’ says Lancashire. ‘The way their Architecture responds to and sits at one with country, is inseparable from their understanding of the ancient rhythms and culture of this great Continent.’
