HABITAR - Grupo de Investigación

 

L'activitat del grup es centra en l’estudi de l’habitat humà, tant la casa com l’espai públic i en la manera més bàsica d’entendre la sostenibilitat, aquella que està lligada a l’aprofitament de l’espai construït. Els objectius de treball que el grup es marca estan en relació amb l’optimització de la recerca realitzada, a la seva difusió i a la influència que aquesta ha d’exercir en l’àmbit de l’arquitectura i la ciutat. Per a nosaltres, per exemple l'ajut obtingut en la convocatòria Recercaixa 2016 sobre el menjar i l'espai públic, és un reconeixement a la originalitat de la recerca en el camp de l’arquitectura i específicament en el de l’Hàbitat humà, que ens reafirma en el convenciment que, en arquitectura, la recerca necessita obrir nous camps de treball i àrees de interès pels arquitectes.
