Focused on developing new architectural materials, construction techniques, and digital design tools. "milanesi | paiusco" through experimentation and testing in FORME Lab, the suitability and effectiveness of these new technologies and materials can be evaluated and applied to milanesi|paiusco's design practice to achieve innovative design solutions.
Over the past century, concrete has been a cornerstone of the architectural world, yet it has now become a highly controversial topic in the environmental field. The study of different types and functions of concrete is currently the studio's core research focus, with its founders dedicating themselves to the exploration of this material since their academic careers.
Thus, pursuing innovation in this field is not only about meeting clients' technical and aesthetic requirements in our consulting services but also reflect the studio's commitment to advancing design and improving the environment, embodying a sense of social responsibility.
We adopt an interdisciplinary approach to study the diverse characteristics of concrete, from its chemical composition, mechanical properties, and feasibility to its architectural expression and its social and environmental impacts. Over time, our research directions and goals have continued to evolve and expand. Based on this subject, our project studies include the following methods:
Design interpretation
Feasibility studies
Sample testing
Design solutions
Carbon reduction strategies
Visual prototype production
Quality control process development
On-site management and execution
