Minusplus Architects, the studio is focusing on experimental designing methods and techniques, accenting on human presence, distortive perception of senses and their reprojection to reality. The main aim is to work through a series of representation and experimentation schemes from modelling the basic conceptual aspects through redesigning and refining the process and the solution itself, in order to have a clear and most precise idea of the outcome of the final work. This is obtained through a wide research field: physical and virtual modelling in three dimensions, sound installations, animations, and interactive tools.
