Louis De Belle - Glasraum Ganko

Ganko is the Milan-based practice led by Nicola Munaretto and Guido Tesio. The work of the office spans different realms and scales-from urban planning to architecture up to interior design and scenography for exhibitions and events. Ganko understands architecture as the creative negotiation between desires and possibilities, subject and context, form and content. Favouring a certain classicism in the strand of the modernist tradition it most identifies with, the office is interested in the unpredictable consequences embedded in a (apparently) utilitarian, rational approach. Ganko understands design as the definition of precise conditions of indeterminacy; and architecture as the formal infrastructure allowing for multiple, often unexpected, appropriations. Unapologetically modern, Ganko is after an architecture that is as precise in its presence as it is open in its experience.
