“We are an Architecture, Planning, Landscape, Design and Climate Change office. We work in complex environments, with a wide range of scales, from region to place. We integrate ecological systems with technology, design and place, involving different actors in the design and maintenance process. Ecology and landscape are the driving force for change in all our projects, which in a very special way focus on two of the great contemporary crises: climate change and biodiversity loss. Many of these works have received national and international recognition such as the XII Spanish Architecture and Urbanism Biennial Award or Good Practice 2012 from the Un-Habitat Committee.”
