Description
Elisa de los Reyes García López is a Spanish architect and member of Pez Estudio, a group of architects working in the field of research, urbanism and design. Pez Estudio is responsible for the execution of the project Agronautas (New Urban Realities) – Open labs towards self-sufficiency. The objective of the project is to rethink and reformulate infrastructures that manage natural resources to minimize the human impact on the planet. They will develop resilient prototypes of ecological equipment, so-called “Agrodomestics” through public workshops by hybridizing art forms and scientific and technological methods in different cultural contexts. “Agrodomestics” is a creative tool to share sustainable practices, visualize and minimize energy consumption, make sustainable innovation available to all and adapt energy systems to the need of different cultures. The project will take place in Norway, Iceland and Spain. The partners in the different countries will be Eutokia and ZAWP in Bilbao (Spain), Matadero in Madrid (Spain), Reykjavik City Council (Iceland) and Slow Space Bjørvika and Future Farmers in Oslo (Norway).
Summary of project results
Elisa de los Reyes is a member of Pez Estudio, a group of architects working in the field of research, urbanism and design. Pez Estudio was responsible for the implementation of the project Agronautas, Open labs towards self-sufficiency. The objective of the project was to rethink and reformulate infrastructures that manage natural resources to minimize the human impact on the planet. A workshop took place in the Botanical Garden in Reykjavik, Iceland, in cooperation with the City Council. The aim was to produce ecological infrastructures and to become familiar with energy, technology and self-sufficient food production systems. Laugargarður Community Garden and the Dalheimar school community acted as local partners. In Norway, they collaborated with the organisation Herligheten, which is an ecological initiative about urban food production. Representatives visited their site to exchange experiences and knowledge. The project has been successful in establishing bonds between likeminded eco-friendly organisations in the north and south of Europe, and all partners involved hope that this could be the start of more sustainable societies across Europe.
