From the emergence of a commercial project like the MANIFESTO MODA, created by Paulo Gomes, Marianela Mirpuri, Vicky Fernandes and Ana Salcedo de Guimarães, appears the union of forces between Emanuel Pimenta and FIBRENAMICS, of great social, technological, cultural and even politic-institutional importance. That is, the shared search for new synergistic structures and innovative technology to help people and even buildings and cities in the search of a new concept of environmental comfort, in a planet whose climate is being increasingly undermined and denied by the unsustainability of the world we live in: nanotechnology applied in designing clothes and smart environmental infrastructures capable of providing a better quality of human life (and survival!) both on Earth and in Space, where this Humanity has seeking new answers to ancient mysteries.

...changing from transparency to opacity, from the absorption to the emission of light, from the impermeability to the permeability of air and light; establishing filtering elements; designing acoustic profiles; constituting textures, colors, patterns, indices of reflection - from the mirroring to the deepest black. Creating - like what happened in Far Eastern tradition over thousands of years - true clocks of fragrances. Reconstructing magical environments of fragrances, of memories and sounds. Designing all our sensory elements establishing a palette with complexity and quality that is unique through the entire history until today. Pulsar recovers, on Earth, the principles of space architecture. It is the application on our planet of the discoveries we make, directly or indirectly, in outer space. For the so-called space exploration is nothing more than the expansion of the Earth, revealing each one of us as magical, dynamic and creative element of Gaia. Pulsar is a tribute to a dear friend: Augusto de Campos, fabulous personage of poetry, one of the creators, along with Haroldo de Campos and Décio Pignatari, of the concrete poetry in the 1940s and 1950s.

Pulsar is the concept and the architectural
            design of a new building that works with intelligent fibers,
            elaborated by the architect Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta in
            2013. It is a building that permits to change from transparency
            to opacity, from the absorption to the emission of light, from
            the impermeability to the permeability of air and light; establishing
            filtering elements; designing acoustic profiles; constituting
            textures, colors, patterns, indices of reflection - from the
            mirroring to the deepest black, designing perfumes of spaces.
            Dedicated to the great Brazilian concrete poet Augusto de Campos,
            Pulsar recovers, on Earth, the principles of space architecture.
