2050 Barcelona, a cosmopolitan city that seeks innovation, but which, due to global warming and other factors, has generated a massive influx of refugees to the area. The objective is to create a refugee settlement capable of lasting at least two years and then dismantle it and become an urban park. This project not only creates a good environment in the neighbourhood but also will create an area where people can exchange their culture.

12.000 years ago agriculture granted food safety to man, so he settled down and developed several activities. Today the food supply is taken for granted, though it is labile and unsustainable in many respects. By changing food policies towards a local production, we can improve its impact on environment and human health. Moreover, by bringing the food production closer to the city, citizens can take advantage of the multifunctionality of agriculture: social cohesion, education, care for nature.
By directly capturing CO2 from gas & coal fired power plants, steel factories and breweries from their emitting pipes, solid concrete building blocks can be created by mixing quicklime with water and the captured carbon is added in straight from the emitting source's pipe.
Another sustainable concrete could be created by mixing limestone with recycled PET plastics. Both techniques drastically reduce material manufacturing and transportation emissions.
Re-use of old materials collected by the owner and local farmers voluntarily from the rural areas houses and agricultural fields that would be otherwise disposed of the clasical methods,recycled or buried to nearby deserted fields.Ecology principles of this actions were to conserve the energy by reducing entropy with re use tackling issues of climate change and reducing envirnmental pressure by lowering resource demands,increasing resource security and save the planet through citizen sharing.
Tejiendo la calle is space for cooperation in a rural community. It transforms the streets of the town with light weaved structures as sunshades. The project is done mostly by eldery women who retain and share textile crafts that are being lost. They reuse plastics to crochet the pieces. They generates shadows for the summer with an atmosphere of celebration. They show their affections, wishes and memories. They change every year, and hangs like the clothes between the balconies of the houses.
Ima is a lounge chair to unwind. The shape of the frame that follows the seat is quite simple, the kind of simplicity admired from the beauty of everyday things. With its unassuming nature, the chair expresses beauty through sincerity, coexisting with the environment. While touching the wood with its natural imperfections, evidence of the tree’s life, it is possible to stop from our busy routines and return to the essence of living, reconnecting with nature and ourselves.
That time is now. Ima.
