      Ossatura Tectonic bridges historical craft with material innovation. Located at Cosanti, the project extends Paolo Soleri’s experimental legacy by treating casting not as a finished technique, but as a living research method.    

      The facility operates between archive, laboratory, and fabrication space. Freeze casting becomes both a material process and an architectural logic, producing a project organized around transformation, porosity, structure, and the future of architectural material systems.
