Your work is strongly based on research and on building your own methodologies. What do you find in that process that helps you make sense of a project before designing anything?
My basic working framework is based on the idea that research defines the methodology, and methodology defines the process and therefore the outcome. I believe that defining these two elements from the very beginning is essential and allows for a solid development. I always try to rationalize everything, but projects are so varied and different from each other that they often require adjustments in their initial approach, which makes it difficult to maintain a stable working process. Sometimes concepts emerge through experimentation and trial and error, and I also find it valid to start with something practical and then move into something more theoretical. Personally, I really enjoy the phase that allows me to read and encounter new things, creating conceptual maps and, above all, defining the tools I am going to use. The more unknown what I am exploring is, the more exciting it becomes.
