-
Each project focuses on improving the everyday life of the local population, paying special attention to those often not taken into account in mainstream planning practices, ensuring thus that their voices and needs are heard and reflected on the proposals.
-
One of the foundations of each project focuses on rendering them genuinely sustainable, ensuring that nature is fostered, that the materials and processes proposed allow non-human species to thrive while consolidating a conscious treatment of resources for present and future generations.
-
Each project aims to ensure that local populations are included in the design and decision-making process, allowing thus projects to be successful by integrating needs and desires of the population and relevant stakeholders in collaboration with local authorities, civil associations and professionals.
