Divisare
AccessAccess

Divisare is the result of an effort of selection and classification of contemporary architecture conducted for over twenty years. Patient work, done with care, image after image, project after project, to offer the ideal tool with which to organize the knowledge of contemporary architecture. Instead of a quick, distracted web, a slow, attentive one. Instead of hastily perused information, knowledge calmly absorbed. This is why Divisare is a place to perceive architecture slowly, without distractions. No click — like — tweet — share, no advertising, banners, pop-ups. Just architecture, no more and no less.
