Los Porfiados (The Stubborns)

gt2P is a public art, architecture, and avant-garde design studio in Santiago, Chile, engaged in projects that span architecture, art, and design. The studio operates through a continuous process of research and experimentation in digital fabrication, fostering new connections between emerging design technologies and the richness of local traditions expressed through materials, craftsmanship, and techniques.

gt2P studio’s methodology is grounded in two complementary dimensions. The first focuses on the systematic observation and analysis of natural, artificial, geometric, and spatial phenomena through the use of generative algorithms. Parametric design serves as a central tool, guiding the planning and execution of projects while integrating the various stages of design, development, and production. The second dimension reflects the studio’s artistic engagement with cultural heritage. By incorporating traditional knowledge and lived experience into the generative systems it develops, the studio enriches and refines the underlying “DNA” of its work.

Embracing the unpredictability of handcraft and the unique qualities of local materials, gt2P creates projects that celebrate place, identity, and the intersection of innovation and tradition.
