El Equipo Mazzanti

EL EQUIPO MAZZANTI/TEAM MAZZANTI, is a Colombian design studio specialising in socially driven architectonic design and academic research. With over twenty-five years of experience, the studio has gained wide national and international recognition. Our practice is characterised by open, collective and non-hierarchical working processes, which bring together architects, urban planners, sociologists, artists and other professionals. On-going questioning and discussion, as well as a motivation to transgress given limits, constitute part of the development of every project. EQUIPO MAZZANTI believes architecture is one of the keys for the construction of a more competitive and sustainable society. The studio reaches out to contribute towards social transformation and well being, devising detailed contextual research, and involving local actors throughout its design processes. The studio produces innovative design based on the observation of day by day interactions, which hold unpredictable spatial and programmatic possibilities.
