The studio produced AIRPORT architectures that intersect with new concerns and problematics of BIOSECURITY. Designing new forms that can emerge from the integration of 3 types of architectural diagrams: LONG_SPAN buildings that accommodate large flows of people, and which have visibility and commercial ambitions (top-down structures); the diagrams of INVISIBLE contagion or illness as they spread through social and material interactions, the tendencies of which we can model in what seem to be bottom-up structures, but whose larger ambitions we do not know; and the diagrams of QUARANTINE, triage and contention, so familiar, ambiguous and controversial for the architecture discipline.

CRAIVE Lab was a perfect tool to jump across the varying scales of the project in a realistic environment and juxtapose diagrammatic aspects of projects that were a material aspect of the real spatial effects of the proposal.
