Us

We are a cooperative founded by architecture and research professionals, with the aim of contributing to environmental balance and social equity, providing solutions that integrate our three areas of action: architecture, community and environment.

The approach of the cooperative is based on the trans-scalar understanding from the building to the territory, in the consideration of all environmental vectors, -energy, water, organic matter, materials, polluting emissions, etc.-, and in the citizen and community involvement in decision-making.

The main activity of the cooperative is focused on research, development and innovation (R+D+I); and on the transfer of this new knowledge, methodologies and tools to society, to the business fabric, to the social and solidarity economy and the third sector, to the public administration and to the academic environment.

The services of the cooperative take the form of plans and strategies; consulting; building projects, public space and landscape; citizen participation and community support; teaching and curating.
