Our practice begins with a simple question; in a time where everything is moving so rapidly, how do we create a moment of pause?
For us the modern project, a project that abandoned history, is not something we can pursue; we are interested in form that is deeply rooted in architecture’s lineage. We see no contradiction between a dialogue with our ancestors and the emergence of authenticity. For us, tradition is an act of fueling the fire, not preserving the ashes.
As practitioners, our understanding of architecture is deeply rooted in the firm belief that it must be an act of cultural production, and therefore, be evolutionary as well as revolutionary.
Ultimately, we aim for clarity and coherence to resonate at all stages of the design process, from initial concept to built object, an act of cultural production at all scales. Our Project, then, is an ongoing investigation of various resolutions to the conflict between abstraction and figuration in architecture. Always being distinctively Sala Hars, but never predictably Sala Hars. Always rooted in the lineage of history but at the same time searching for an unmistakable contemporary expression.
