EcoLogicStudio is an architectural and urban design studio co-founded in London by Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto. In the past few years the studio has built up an international reputation for its innovative work on ‘systemic’ design; ecoLogicStudio’s method is defined by the combination and integration of systemic thinking, bio and socio-logic research, parametric design and prototyping. Completed projects include a public library, private villas, large facades and eco-roofs; ecoLogic has developed prototypes and installations for the most important Architectural Biennales, including Venice in 2008 and 2010 [STEMv3.0 the lagoon experiment, The ecological Footprint grotto], Seville [STEMcloud], Istanbul [Fibrous room] and Milan Fuorisalone [Aqva Garden].
EcoLogic runs international Workshops and cultural activities like the Architectural Machines Symposium at the AA in 2009, the Fibrous Structures workshop, Prototyping the city in Turin, ICAMP in Messina, Tropic Playground in Linz, to name a few. The work of ecoLogicStudio has featured in many international architectural books and magazines; recently ecoLogic has started a publishing activity with booklets like the “Casa Lightwall”, the Cybergardens, and the AA INTER10 09/10 book titled “World Dubai Marine Life Incubators”.
