About
We are an architectural studio based in Bolivia, with two decades of international experience in urban innovation, sustainability, and housing. As a recognized NEB Partner and participant in the New European Bauhaus Festival 2024, we bring strong alignment with the principles of the European Green Deal and NEB: sustainability, inclusion, aesthetics, and participation.
Our studio led the project Estercuel Verde 2050, selected by the European Commission and presented in Brussels as a visionary proposal to transform a post-industrial mining crater into a regenerative, bioclimatic urban ecosystem. We offer conceptual design leadership, visionary planning, and applied research for consortia engaged in transformative urban regeneration.
We are currently seeking partners for NEB 2026 proposals—specifically:
-
Municipalities or small towns looking to develop NEB-aligned local transformation projects
-
Research centers or universities working on urban resilience, territorial innovation, or housing
-
Technical partners such as urban labs or engineering teams interested in co-creating applied pilot projects
We contribute transdisciplinary thinking, strong design vision, and experience with public competitions and NEB dissemination. Our goal is to help define and co-develop scalable, future-oriented solutions that foster cultural, spatial, and environmental regeneration in line with NEB values.
