Investigation & Development

We explore mixed-use projects and entertainment. Dynamic, customizable and hyper-mixed, the building becomes an open platform for generating disruptive experiences.

We propose a new approach to the development of vertical housing in Latin America. This project aims to raise a debate on the models of rent and sale established by the real estate market through a building that seeks flexibility, resilience, quality public space and to generate experiences.

Recently we have seen an increase in building defects mainly involving excessive deformation from bending in reinforced concrete structures.

Both architects and real estate developers must question whether the current real estate products are in line with the new development models. This laboratory project reflects on this issue, based partly on reality and partly on conjecture about what may happen in the future.
