K21 has the genetic code of its predecessor, K67, and yet, as its progeny, it responds to the spirit of the times and the need for multipurpose organic growth in structures for commerce, work and living, in the form of modules for urban nomads, city dwellers, commuters and tourists.

The visual and functional culture of the 21st century is moving toward a fascination with technical prowess, elegance, efficiency and a complex mix of geometric and biomorphic references. As such, architecture, now driven by the CAD-CAM capabilities of computers and machinery, appears to be transforming thousands years of the coded architecture of columns, roofs, walls, floors and ceilings into a new formal and conceptual language.  

As a result, the city of static boxes is being replaced by the city of dynamic expression. Architecture therefore becomes an incubator for a transformative process of spaces and structures, as well as of time and personal notions of relativity and identity. 

The K21 system is a series of multipurpose telecommunications ‘consoles’ for the urban territory, a network of nodes which address the situational logic driven by the flow of people and information.
