D. Daskalopoulos art center is not just a building dedicated to art and education. Its a project that invites us to re-read and reformulate modern society correlations. Architecture through our proposal acquires a connecting role between dipoles of nature-education, education-art, nature-art. Through the re-reading of those correlations emerges the main design composition which respects the current urban context and delivers new spatial qualities.
With take-away and food delivery becoming more popular, the number of single use boxes that end up in the trash is on the rise. By signing up for a membership in the RAKUN app, customers can order or take their food home in reusable, stainless steel boxes for a fixed monthly price. The next time they want to use the box, they drop off the one they have with them, and the restaurant replaces their used box with another one that has already been properly washed and disinfected.
This project articulates a methodology of assisted rehabilitation in vulnerable residential communities through the co-design of replicable, small-scale projects and their further co-fabrication and implementation in five multi-family buildings in the Raval neighbourhood. Efficient low-cost, recyclable, license-free solutions that can be self-constructed with the assistance of local professionals and entities respond to the local and global urgency of improving living spaces in deprived areas.

Old Waste mgmt-
Around 80% of waste collections happen at the wrong time.
Waste collection trucks drive the same route and empty every single container–even if the waste container did not need emptying
High labour and fuel costs and not sustainable way, more vehicles means more carbon emission
New SMART WASTE MGMT-
Event-driven waste collection
Solution that utilizes real-time data to make sure that waste containers are only picked up when needed
Sustainable, less costly and eco-friendly
Vaidila Square and Oaks Grove Park are recently renewed public spaces of a prefab panel housing neighborhood. The new design kept qualities of modernist planning ideas but enriched the neighborhood with new qualities - spaces that encourage social inclusion, equity, community empowerment, active lifestyle and teenager occupation. The project stimulated overall district regeneration and became an example of how the post-soviet neighborhoods can change into modern and cozy spaces.
The Tannery (Garveriet) was in its prime in the 19th century. Economic and industrial development eventually forced operations to close. The grounds became a shabby, forgotten area where almost no one except the police had a purpose for visiting. The buildings fell in despair. The ground was contaminated.
Today it is a mecca for food connected to sustainability issues. The old tannery has been transformed to a quality food destination combined with a brand-new light and bright wooden church.
UrbActivistas project was the parallel event of the NEB Festival which involved people in the design of more beautiful, fairer, and greener cities. More than 150 citizens participated in actions such as garden design, collaborative graffiti, ceramic and painting workshops, and Jean Jacobs in order to reflect, create and intervene in the public space. They generated ideas for transforming not only our reality but also our street, our neighbourhood, our city... our future.
We created a unique professional model on a country level through an outstanding product family. We do not only satisfy customers but aim to ease the life of a population, thrown on the edge of society. By the project that is proved to function on the material, technical and logistics levels, our customers and foundations that are strategic partners, are equally gaining support. Our project aims to support the lowest social class of pets: those in animal shelters.
The project unites and goes hand in hand with a collective hope: the revival of a square, Plaça del Carme in old town of Olot. The approach was like acupuncture, a catalogue of actions to give new life to that which already exists, improving urban comfort, invigorating ground floors and highlighting heritage. It is a project of projects. It started by reformulating the commission, allocating 70% of the budget to ground floors, essential for the vitality, comfort and safety of the public space.
