Statement[edit]
Guallart Architects is a company that follows ecological principles in their projects, developing so-called Bio-cities which aim is to allow the merging of urbanization with nature and promote the development of an ecological civilization.

The work is developed in collaboration with world-class experts in the fields of sociology, engineering and computing.
Practice[edit]
Guallart Architects office is based in Barcelona, the city where the term ‘Urbanism’ was coined and where multiple urban innovations have occurred in recent decades. This architectural office adapts Barcelona's urban design culture to every part of the world and every culture where it operates.
Pioneer of interaction between nature, technology and architecture Guallart Architects proposes new paradigms based in urban, social and cultural conditions emerged from information society, Guallart Architects crosses boundaries in geology, sociology, engineering, fabrication, economics, and software design merging architecture, nature and new technology.
Each project is approached in a multiscale manner: from the regional scale, planning, design of public space, landscaping, architecture and object design. Everything related to urban metabolism is developed with special intensity, including energy, water and waste, in order to promote a circular economy.
For more than 10 years the office has been carrying out projects of self-sufficient buildings which produce energy, food and objects, using 3D printing techniques, in addition to work on every aspect related to the cycle of matter. Specifically, it encourages the use of wood in buildings, as a renewable material that stores CO2.
Guallart Architects have developed a deep passion for design and the desire to improve the human habitat worldwide, in order to create cities and territories in harmony that promote improvement in the well-being of the people who inhabit them.
