The node
This intersection of lines generated by the superposition of individual lines, these in turn drawn from the union of points in space, constitute a network where matter and any living organism are interconnected. We are nothing more nor less than small particle nodes in a graph.

Network
We recognize the energy that connects and articulates thought. We act with principle and coherence, recovering vernacular knowledge through art, science and technology. We are a convergence of actions that seek to maintain the balance between the human footprint and nature that enhances our world.

Bamboo Engineers

Bamboo Engineers is a collaborative effort between professionals with a shared passion for bamboo engineering, through the combination of timeless structural concepts, modern tools and over a decade of practical experience with Bamboo Structures.

Iberian Bamboo Association

The association seeks to unify all efforts to promote the research and introduction of bamboo in sectors such as agriculture, architecture, construction or engineering, as a sensible and sustainable alternative to finite and polluting materials.

Distil Ennui

Without being limited by the architectural boundaries of the art world, my practice engages the broader public sphere through interventions within natural landscapes and civic spaces alike, arts education, policy-making, issues of sustainability and ecocide.

My purpose

We believe in the power of a collaborative ecosystem that connects to make visible and foster the connection between entrepreneurs, institutions and companies, facilitating collaboration and promoting the creation of networks to achieve transformative projects.

The Distil Ennui Studio™ Cultural & Environmental Project Hub

Our practice is driven by an interest in field observation and scientific discovery with a prominence in the exploration of the liquid mechanics of water. We aim to make the concerns of art relevant to society at large, a crucial means of turning thought into action in the world.

Conservation Laboratory-Colombia

The Conservation Laboratory-Colombia foundation leads and supports biodiversity conservation actions using and generating high-quality scientific knowledge, working together with communities, companies and the public sector with the objective of preserving the biological wealth of the country, and promoting its development. sustainable.

work areas

Architecture and design

We conceive architectural design in a sustainable way, through the global energy balance of the project, the optimization of natural resources, the analysis of environmental conditions and the combination of bioconstruction techniques and new technologies

Engineering

We use applied science through theoretical foundations that allow us to find optimal solutions to engineering problems of any scale, evaluating the available resources and developing innovative work methodologies, through cutting-edge computer technologies and tools.

Bioconstruction

We believe that the combination of traditional construction techniques with a long history and conventional construction systems constitute an alternative for the development of a society that is more aware of the excessive consumption of resources. An architecture for the future that dialogues with the past and reinvents itself with the possibilities of the present

Technology and Research

We implement experimental methods focused on materials science and innovation for the manufacture of elements of diverse applications from construction waste and high-consumption materials such as plastic and aluminum.

Training

We share experiences and knowledge as a strategy to lay the foundations for global change based on specific initiatives in different contexts. We are an interdisciplinary team that addresses different fields of knowledge, combining traditional techniques from natural materials and modern technologies.

Cooperation Projects

The cooperation network facilitates the connection between community projects, protection of natural resources and rural enterprises with various institutions and people, promoting the exchange of knowledge, resources and opportunities. Together, we can promote sustainable development and innovation in rural territories, thus strengthening the positive impact of local initiatives
