Flourishing Strokes, Igniting the Flames of Creativity
THOMAS DAMBO
Dambo sees sculpture as born from experience, form and movement. Each work dialogues with nature, carrying stories shaped by place. He believes real materials have their own force and character, guiding how a work is expressed. For that reason, he breaks existing elements apart and recomposes them, allowing each work to form a bond with its site and become part of it.

Conceived as a seven-level Urban Pavilion with “home” as its theme, Palazzo Molteni combines cultural exchange and display functions. Across the street, the Museo Poldi Pezzoli offers a quiet counterpoint, a dialogue held in the seams of time. Architect and Molteni&C Creative Director Vincent Van Duysen composes a sequence of living-room settings that translate Milan’s understated elegance from exterior to interior. Across more than 3,000 sq m of space, conversations between design, art, and daily life play out room by room.

Instilling a shared philosophy within the team to practice design is a lengthy process. As the firm revolves around my design thinking, it requires injecting energy into a group of thirty to forty young architects who originally had diverse learning paths and different perspectives on architecture. For instance, we place significant emphasis on construction quality. In every project, we deploy on-site architects so they can gradually appreciate Vector Architects' meticulous requirements for quality and precision. This serves as daily training for young architects because, besides possessing creative imagination, impulse, and aspirations, architects also need the resilience to handle everyday trivialities.

As you stroll through the Life is Art Gallery in Antwerp, Belgium, your attention is drawn to the distinctive artworks on display—pieces that resemble walls, whether integrated into the gallery’s surfaces or placed on shelves. I couldn’t help but wonder: Are these walls part of the original structure of the space, or do they aim to convey a message through these familiar, everyday forms?
