MEET HESTIAS
Marco Polo describes a bridge with each stone. “So which stone supports the bridge?” asks Kublai Khan. “It is not this stone or that stone that supports the bridge, but the arch of the arch formed by the stones,” says Marco. Kublai Khan remains silent for a while, thinking. Then he adds: “Why do you keep telling me about stones? There is only one thing that interests me, and that is the arch.” Marco replies: “If there are no stones, there is no arch.” * (Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities)
Since archaic times, man has sought the possibilities of improving the quality of life. He built culture with artistic advances, and civilization with engineering solutions. Just as we cannot separate cultural activities from the axis of civilization, we cannot separate artistic and aesthetic perceptions from engineering. For thousands of years; we have found the arches in the arches of bridges that have united cities, civilizations and generations, and are symbols of communication and transportation, with engineering solutions; but we build those curves with stones loaded with the values of art, philosophy, design and architecture.
As Hestias, we put people at the center and adopt the principle of building suitable solutions for them, not just places where they can live.
