Produktbeschreibung

AULETS Arquitectes is an architecture practice based in Mallorca. Working across design, research, teaching and territorial action, the practice understands architecture as a means of making a territory habitable for a community through the resources available in each specific place. For AULETS, resources are everything that the local territory has to offer –forests, quarries, derelict buildings, materials and trades at risk of disappearing– and the firm proposes to build using these by combining traditional knowledge and contemporary technologies to develop new construction processes aimed at the ecological and cultural regeneration of places. The work of AULETS extends beyond the construction of buildings to encompass public action, the activation of new productive processes and the transmission of these practices within schools of architecture. Its activities range from the regeneration of vulnerable neighbourhoods and the adaptation of public space to climate change, to initiatives such as Amarar, a company focused on recovering the value chains associated with Pinus halepensis and to forest conservation. Through initiatives such as these AULETS seeks to re-establish the relations between architecture, resources, craft traditions and ecosystems, demonstrating how that which has been abandoned can once again become a means of inhabiting and constructing with the territory. Aulets' work has received national and international awards, and has been widely published and exhibited. Significant exhibitions include two travelling exhibitions: 'JAE. Jóvenes Arquitectos de España' (2008–13) and 'Materia Sensible' (2010–11), as well as the Venice Architecture Biennale (2012), 'With Love from Spain' at the Utzon Center in Aalborg (2021), and 'Los nuevos realistas' at the DHub in Barcelona (2023).
