Line of research: SUSTAINABLE HABITAT FOR CONTEXTS IN DEVELOPMENT:

The aim of our activity and our research is the habitat in socially extreme and complex contexts: architexture on the edge, which is presented at first as the exception, but finally reveals itself as the general rule, on a global level. The focus of our study area is explicitly non-geographical: we are interested in ‘developing contexts’ both north and south: we have worked in Mexico and India, but also in socially complex neighborhoods of Madrid, for the homeless, etc. Still, the contacts we have developed in recent years have directed much of our activity towards the Indian context, so we can consider it preferential to continuatinue with the line of relationships that we have started there. The coordinators of this line are son Ismael Miguel Prieto and Luis Basabe Montalvo.
