ABOUT | vacuum

Vacuum is an Architectural Atelier founded by Architects Gino Baldi and Serena Comi

It means void, it derives from latin. Investigating the vacuum doesn't only mean investigating space, but it also means investigating the unknown, what is not seen, what is not visible through the only sense of sight. It is also this, but not only.

It means to investigate measures, reasons, and relationships behind the things.

It means making obvious analogies known before.

It means to inquire into the original reasons for things to be able to understand and reinterpret, giving it new reason. Emptiness is an immaterial element, invisible, than we could say nonexistent. Yet it is such a matter so empty to give meaning to the fullness.

It is an ongoing creative process.

Vacuum based in Bergamo. Italy
