Living Sphere is an operating practice with an open-minded ideal engaged in solving global issues. It is also a research group that experiments with an alternative approach to architecture and in general to the environment in which we live. We have conceived this book as a manifesto because we believe that it is necessary to take a strong statement in the world of architecture. However, we think it is very important that a contemporary manifesto should be open, inclusive and integrated from other points of view. This is the reason why we think that this book should be a tool available to those who read it. We also believe that it should be seen as a "machine", an assemblage, of ideas and theoretical dynamics to be expanded and built in a renewd spirit.
