How to live in a desert: that is the topic of this project, dramatically far from any city and surrounded just by dry nature; this is a surrealistic but real territory: Patagonia. The first scheme, "Research Centre", 1995, is on the left hand. This city is a reaction against urbanisation; actually, it is difficult to distinguish natural forms from the artificial ones. It is, as well, an anticipation of the "Architectural Fictions" research, 1999.
