In architecture, the work of Sudarch tries to suggest sustainable and inclusive strategies, drawing inspiration from nature, in the attempt of interpreting limits and balance of the places, trough not rhetorical solutions. In fact one of the focus matters of its work is a correct use of the natural resources (ground, materials, energy) taken as a mainframe to re-balance settlement processes, to reconvert invasive works and to repair the environment (either natural or built), that is to make environmentally compatible the unavoidable impact of the man on the nature. Its projects show aims on urban and constructive ecology, more specifically in projects dedicated to local stories, where still remains the co-membership between the human and natural world (as the interventions in Bova and Pentedattilo), where there is still a trace of ancient environmental ethic that is resistant to increasingly globalizing phenomena.
