FGP Atelier is a global practice led by Mexican architect Francisco
Gonzalez Pulido whose mission is to contribute to social and
economic advancement through the alignment of the core principles
of Design, Science and Technology. The work of The Atelier is
guided by Transparency, Openness and Freedom. These values are
reflected in the approach to process and collaborations, as well as
in the buildings and spaces that result. Logic, Intuition,
Multidisciplinary Collaboration, Scientific Research and Work
Experience drive the design of Spaces that are Active as well as
Infrastructure and Urban Networks that respond to Atmosphere,
Ecology, Comfort, Economy, Culture and the Technological Context.
In working towards the dissolution of archetypical interventions,
the Experience of these spaces and buildings is valued over
Typology in order to ground the ultimate value in human existence.
Progression presents a series of projects and related essays that
illustrate the principles that guide the work of FGP Atelier.
Through examining these principles, the themes, ideas, and goals
that are common to the projects emerge and provide a means of
understanding how a diverse set of buildings relate as well as what
might come next. The book is divided into three sections: Values,
Network, and Ambition. "Values" is comprised of three chapters that
discuss sustainability, the practice, and ethics. "Network" is
comprised of four chapters that discuss how technical design is
influenced by context, the alternative futures that planning can
offer, the role that infrastructure plays in creating equitable
cities, and challenges facing housing in the future. The final
section, "Ambition" suggests ways that the discipline of
architecture can evolve. Ultimately, the goal of this book is to be
provocative on multiple levels. It should inspire the reader
through the completed buildings executed in often challenging
conditions. At the same time, it should be a catalyst for discourse
and debate regarding what should be built and how a philosophy
guides a practice, the design of future buildings, and the
conservation of existing buildings.
