AR Scape originated from the collaboration between two different personalities, started in the context of U.P.C. (Polytechnic University of Catalunya), on the basis of a common interest in contemporary landscape as well as in the experimentation of new social equilibria and new forms of production, culture and identity. 

After ten years of both free-lance experiences in architectural, landscape and editorial design and research in social housing and participatory design, thanks to open exchanges of ideas with international experts and colleagues met during their postgraduate studies, the architects have developed a new empirical and multidisciplinary working method, which has proved its effectiveness in the context of fruitful international collaborations with both private and public institutions.

AR Scape implements architectural and landscape projects with the aim to create new sceneries by reflecting upon and investigating into the relationship between the environment seen as an experienced space, and the quality of life.

We mainly focus on:

– Landscape, society and culture (collective memory, nature, intellectual and material production, etc.)

– Invisible landscapes and their representation

– Ordinary landscapes, their influence on social behaviours and our possibilities to produce changes within the social fabric

– Landscape design for increasing architectural accessibility and leisure democratisation
