GREGORY
DOS SANTOS
Grégory is a young architect who graduated in july 2020. He studied at EPFL in Lausanne (CH) and at FAUP in Porto (PT). He is currently teaching assistant at HEIA-FR.
His vision of what contemporary architecture should be is deliberately in contrast to the technologized world around him and seeks to achieve a poetic statement with the simplest of means.
To return to simple materials, to reveal laws and processes deriving from the power of the imagination, constitutes a provocative statement in an industrialized society. A way of «dropping out» which is by no means a denial of society, but which instead asserts a moral claim: the subjectified sensibility in its objectified authenticity reflects a natural recollection of environmental phenomena, both universal and individual, global and local.
