Structure as argument
In existing-building projects, the solution must be technically defensible in relation to its context, not only correctly calculated in isolation.

Notes on a cantilever
A local intervention only makes sense if you understand the surrounding force flow, not only the detail that appears problematic.
How we read a degraded slab.
Slab degradation is not assessed by appearance, but by the way the elements still collaborate or have ceased to do so.
Existing-structure intervention, without improvisation.
Working on existing structures does not allow fast solutions without verification; every deviation propagates into the building and into execution.
The effort you do not see.
Many decisive decisions in a project do not become spectacular images, but without them the site would not have technical stability.
The outcome does not begin at the end.
The quality of a final intervention is decided long before the last executed detail, in the way hypotheses and stages are ordered.
