The architects at GMA maintain a constant dialogue between the interior and exterior of a building, based on a unified conceptual language. They strive to create structures where the connection between inside and outside is multi-directional — a dynamic, interconnected system. Designing from the outside in focuses on context: location, landscape, climate, city, and street. Designing from the inside out begins with the human experience, functional needs, and the sensory qualities of the space. When these two directions operate in synergy, the result is a structure that combines local sensitivity with functional precision. The architects at GMA Architects use parametric design to enhance this synergy between interior and exterior. It creates computational relationships between systems — for example, between sunlight exposure and the distribution of openings, or between internal circulation and the topology of the external structure. With tools such as Grasshopper and Rhino, it's possible to design complex systems where a change in one parameter (such as an internal functional requirement) is immediately reflected in the form and materiality of the facade — and vice versa. Thus, architectural design evolves from a linear process into a living dialogue. Buildings are born not as decorative shells, but as responsive, breathing, intelligent bodies — where the interior and exterior are two sides of the same living system.
