A Campo Traviesa is a young firm based in Brazil. Founded in 2024, it encompasses an independent practice by Agu Sienra Chaves.
Despite its very modest current size, its experience spans urbanism, architecture, carpentry and product design, having received international awards in all these scales.
The name —approximately equivalent to "road-less mode"— synthetizes its essence:
Co-discovering new paths to achieve different results in how we build, maintain and relate with natural and human preexistences.
Part of our experience unites humble material tests, microservices, cabinetmaking, supervision and maintenance consulting. Also, several written works complete a broad approach, enabling to nurture projects from these various sides.
This atelier and construction-aware attitude is denominated here as the Lab.
A Campo Traviesa - Cooperārī (ACT-Co) is intended to be the non-for-profit arm of the for-profit firm, as contemporary challenges frequently demand action from social organizations.
