It’s always a joy to spend time with colleagues and peers and to share my work with them. These past few days at SAH were truly wonderful. Thank you, Olivier, for organizing such an outstanding session, and thanks to all the speakers, friends, and companions who made these days so special.

‘Visionary brilliance and optimism against all odds’ flattered by this fantastic review in @elpais.com by Javier Montes on our project Jameos del Agua: Laboratorio Interplanetario Interespecies for Bienal Arte de Lanzarote @andresjaque.bsky.social

“La arquitectura es la disciplina que, de manera más clara, ha asumido la responsabilidad de responder a las crisis climáticas”, explica @andresjaque.bsky.social, decano de Arquitectura de @columbiauniversity.bsky.social
Andrés Jaque, arquitecto: “La calle del futuro es una calle con vida, permeable, con sombra y activa”
El decano de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Columbia cree que hay que apostar por una “alianza interespecies” y que los edificios no solo deben ser sostenibles, sino lograr una reparación ecológica
