TAM approach
“taking
care in architecture” is a response towards unlimited growth and
exploitation; it is a precise will for architectural design rooted in mutual
respect towards human beings and environmental tasks, as architecture concerns
both of them. “taking care” gives a direction to the many
issues of contemporary architecture: art, landscape, economy, technology; and
it results in the many works tamassociati is doing for health-care structures,
cultural buildings, and public spaces in any context. “taking
care” becomes a valuable praxis in architect’s work: the consciousness
of creating always new meanings and possibilities for people in accordance to
spaces.
