Is an architectural office, founded by Valentina Merz and Lara Monacelli Bani.
Remoto refers to something that is somewhere else, coming out from another time, somehow detached from nowness and from space, from a central matter. Something we might not grab but that remains as a tense thought that directs our making. The noun refers to something forgotten, vague, almost undoable, but in itself, in re moto, a movement starts again and a project or a research, with ethereous and ancient roots, stick out and becomes something else.
Atelier Remoto has collaborated through years with:
Carla Juaçaba, Martino Pedrozzi, Davide Pagliarini, Elias Kuhri, Ila Beka and Louise Lemoine, Francis Kéré, Garcés - de Seta - Bonet arquitectes, Fondazione Sella, Laboratorio Potenziale, O’Cypher Company, collettivo Paesaggi Migranti, Petrarubra Festival, Lucia Amaddeo, Matthew Bailey, Valeria Cobianchi, Michele Zanuso, Theresa Bader, Natanael Guzman, Vittoria Leonardelli, Marta Tonelli, Cornelia Mattiacci.
