PROFILE
Salottobuono was born in 2005 as a collector of research experiences and design production.
It investigates the urban space, codifying cognitive devices and triggering transformation strategies.
Topics, challenges and programs are occasions for diagrammatic analyses and elaboration of paradoxical visions.
Critical nodes, discontinuities and weak points are exasperated through the formulation of visionary objects and performative practicies based on non-authorial concepts and minimal rationality.
Salottobuono is grounded in intellectual exchange and relational attitude built around a stable work group.
Its experience develops through the participation in competitions, workshops, publications and specific assignments.
