CONCEPT
MBLandArch focuses on the academic approach of landscape architecture ranging from a projective exploration to contemporary topics of our environment. Merging both practice and theory, it considers inherent perspectives such as landscape ecology, humanistic disciplines and the construction of public space, among others.
Barcelona’s urban model and its historical renowned public space design are spread worldwide. Our specific approach is defined by an understanding of a large territorial scale and the usage of ecological theoretical concepts, as well as its representation. A transdisciplinary and multiscale approach, specific to Landscape architecture, has traditionally nurtured our discipline and determined Barcelona School of Architecture’s reputation through artistic, creative, and architectural skills.
