Genetic Architectures Office

The Genetic Architectures Office is conducted by Alberto T. Estévez, architect. The office is tightly connected to the Genetic Architectures Research Group and its real genetics and digital manufacturing laboratories. It was founded in Barcelona in 2000, looking for a systematic implementation of cutting-edge bio & digital techniques, that could achieve natural scale 1:1 architecture, built entirely with digital tools. This approach stands at the vanguard of early twenty-first century, when the consolidated trend of digital organicism gradually merges with the new bio-architecture, in our effort to connect the research experiences with real projects, some of which are presented here.
