The combination of the resources available to architecture and the ability to resort to a creative finesse is our proposal for this issue of the Frugality series, a critical response to the demands of the environmental agenda.

These are mechanisms without cost, pure intellectual reflection. The absence of su-perfluous components creates objects stripped of cladding and unnecessary layers. Simple constructions that employ the pseudo-craftsmanship of industrialised assembly as a personalised pattern, imparting identity to the final outcome.
