How should architecture respond to a landscape with enormous aesthetic vigour, fiercely beautiful?
The recovery of Caño de Hierro, an initiatory project for all its authors, invites us to reflect that the value of architecture, perhaps, lies in its origin, in the simple gesture of drawing a line.
This project has been a fantastic opportunity to reintroduce nature to the heart of Barcelona. The Xifré Rooftop is a dual purpose renovation project, in terms of both architecture and ecology. Covering an early 19th-century block of ten buildings, this contemporary roof garden creates a “floating” wild space that enhances urban biodiversity and opportunities for social interaction between neighbours. Furthermore, the rooftop elements of the historic building have been carefully restored.
After being abandoned for years, an old cement factory is now a collaborative space for free culture.
Located in a rural municipality of Spain, La Fábrika has become a landmark for an open network of creators, thinkers and social agents throughout the territory. Over the course of our ten years of activity, more than 3.000 people have contributed to regenerate the space.
Together we build, meet and explore.
