María Pía Torrejón

Architecture, urban planning and design are predominant themes in my recent work. Three attempts by human beings to give tangibility and structure to the individual, collective and everyday space we inhabit. Three expressions in constant tension and revision due to our current lifestyle.
Human beings demand more predictable urban spaces. Globalization and the new mobility and consumption patterns require an administration of spaces that determines common patterns that generate security rather than well-being.
On the other hand, the climate threat has caused architects, urban planners and designers to constantly search for sustainable and efficient solutions that achieve a more permanent balance between natural and human-made elements.
