Estudio Guto Requena
Architecture Firm São Paulo / Brazil

We shape memories trough the experimental use of digital technologies.
Good design should tell a good story.
Our final aesthetic results from the process. We love hybrids, interactivity and overlaying analogic with numeric.
We enlarge the life cycle based in sustainable affection.
Design must invite us to reflect about the time and the world we live in. Design must solve problems.
Anyone can be a designer. Who is the author?
Cyberculture redefined our daily lives forever.
