Studio Muoto

80 p, Spanish/English

Muoto means “form” in Finnish, and yet this architecture studio is based in Paris. Started in 2003 by Gilles Delalex and Yves Moreau, the practice is guided by geometric rigour and an intelligent combination of precise elements. This issue examines how Studio Muoto’s work expresses their concern for ethical responsibility and attention to social and economic contexts in a variety of programmes and typologies, and is designed to evolve over time. Selected projects include the École des medias in Brussels, Laboratoires in Basel, and Groupe scolaire in Versailles. The issue also features domestic experiments in Japanese suburbs and an update on the Public Library of Córdoba.
