FLORES & PRATS ARCHITECTS

WHERE Barcelona, Spain
PEOPLE Eva Prats (b. Barcelona, Spain, 1965), Ricardo Flores (b. Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1965)

A practice founded on the responsibility of making and building, the studio features a quasi-artisanal modus operandi that overturns the idea of collage cities through care for spatial and social microcosms. Regeneration, social housing or public space become an opportunity to think of architecture as a practice of carefully shaped material, the result of painstaking work that starts with drawing – almost always by hand – and modelling. The studio also develops mobile, or portable, projects, using media that ranges from film to edible architecture.
