A gouge is a tool used in wood engraving to give precision to the curves of the lines. It is what shapes creation, giving form to different stories. Similarly, the Goiva office bases its work on the protagonism of creation. In each project, the focus is on highlighting the journey in architecture in a poetic way, showing that creation becomes conception—that is, it is something alive that starts from an idea. At the end of each project, they seek to manifest results that are the fruits of creation, processes, and the poetic envelope of architecture. Led by architects and partners Karen Evangelisti and Marcos Mendes, architecture is seen as the exercise of sculpting spaces and ideas, materializing and executing unique projects that meet the unusual.
