Founded in Rome in 2006 FAREstudio operates preferably in social architecture, where action on built environment that could enhance the condition of underserved communities is unfortunately countless. In an era when design appears to oscillate dangerously between the virtualization of products and the narcissism of protagonists, FARE pursues a concrete and material approach to architecture, an inherent objective rendered explicit in the name of the office*. The confrontation with reality sought by FARE is not, however, the sign of an adhesion to a [presumed] neutrality of technique, be it economic, programmatic or constructive: a critical analysis of the presuppositions of each project [context, final objectives, restrictions] constitutes the foundation of a method by which the unavoidable tectonic dimension must confront typological and functional innovation, together with the even more essential theme of social responsibility.
*The Italian verb FARE is derived from the Latin word facere. It can be translated as to do, to make or to produce.
