Satellite Stations – Fertile architectures

Satellite Stations are architectures born from a reflection on the relationship between eternity and temporality. Reflecting on time continually raises a series of questions about the future and the human condition, factors that determine design choices in architecture.
The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, as well as many modern-day architects, have built monuments that aspire to eternity. Today the planet is too cluttered, and we just can’t continue to insist on building for eternity. But we need buildings, and so architecture needs to contribute to evolution by connecting to the dimension of life as flowing and passing. Why not believe that architecture too can be fertile?
The Satellite Stations are small places for contemplation, greenhouses, stages and pavilions as compliments to living that transform into humus over the course of time. It is easy to build them in wood as working with this material speaks to us of the ancestral relationship between humans and nature. Wood naturalizes, and rather than resisting its own depletion, it acquires beauty and feeling precisely thanks to this transformation.
The Satellite Stations instil a syntonic relationship with time, entering into the flow and displaying traces of atmospheric phenomena until they themselves become nourishment for nature. We have imagined six of them, including three introspective environments: the Chapel of Light, the Perspective of the Mind, the Mystical Laboratory; and three relational environments: the Garden of Culture, the Party House; the Acoustic Stage.
