While earth, timber and stone are very traditional materials, they have never really been using for collective housing. In this course, Marta Peris and José Toral, founding partners of Barcelona-based Peris +Toral Arquitectes, share the strategies they use to think about their social housing projects, examining the materials from a lens of sustainability through environmental, economic and social views.

Marta Peris + José Toral - Peris + Toral Arquitectes from their office in Barcelona, feed their practice with continuous research in the fields of collective public housing and urban space , under a line of thought that places the individual as the center of action and the architect as an agent social.
