RE-Inhabit contexts
Re-Inhabit contexts encompasses the exercise of sensitivity, rigor and common sense of the architecture that we are interested in exploring.
We understand the context as the order or specific arrangement of those historical, cultural, and material elements that are interwoven with the way of being, of living, of coexisting, of building. This order or specific arrangement builds the common thread from which each of our architectural interventions is born.
In this talk we will focus on 4 projects that work on cultural heritage in different contexts and that have the spirit of recovering it in order to enrich the urban and collective life of different cities. Hence the search to Re-inhabit contexts.
Mendoza Partida is an international architecture firm based in Barcelona, the result of the symbiosis and connection between Héctor Mendoza and Mara Partida. Two professionals whose unique sensitivity to understand and interpret multiple contexts and situations, together with a constant search for new ways of doing things, support their projects. A studio whose area of activity is mainly framed in the design of cultural facilities and housing, areas in which its solutions, in addition to achieving perfect coordination, provide special well-being.
Mendoza Partida, through experimentation, research and innovative solutions based on common sense and congruence, provides its architecture with a precise balance between geometry, matter and emotion.

RE-Habitar contextos
Re-habitar contextos engloba el ejercicio de la sensibilidad, rigor y sentido común de la arquitectura que nos interesa explorar.
El contexto lo entendemos como el orden o disposición específica de aquellos elementos históricos, culturales, materiales, que se entretejen con la manera de ser, de vivir, de convivir, de construir. Este orden o disposición específica construye el hilo conductor del cual nace cada una de nuestras intervenciones arquitectónicas.
En esta charla nos centraremos en 4 proyectos que trabajan sobre el patrimonio cultural en distintos contextos y que tienen el espíritu de recuperarlo para poder enriquecer la vida urbana y colectiva de las distintas ciudades. De ahí la búsqueda de Re-habitar contextos.

El context ho entenem com l’ordre o disposició específica d’aquells elements històrics, culturals, materials, que s’entreteixeixen amb la manera de ser, de viure, de conviure, de construir.

Inauguration of the exhibition 'Looks: Water and the Sea'
The exhibition, the first of the LOOKS Cycle at the Tarragona headquarters, dedicated this year to WATER, includes twenty images by photographer Pep Escoda and offers a look at this natural element, as the title indicates, water and the sea.
Pep Escoda, Tarragona (1958), has worked as a professional photographer since 1990 and, although he specialized in interior design and architecture photography, he has reached other photographic specialties throughout his career. He has won 21 Lux awards in various categories, portrait, landscape, architecture or personal project.
He has published his photographs in more than 150 books, by publishers such as Taschen, Daab, Teneues or Harper design New York, New York Times, Forbes Magazine and ICON Magazine, among others.
He has been part of many individual and group exhibitions, such as the Tagomago gallery in Barcelona and Paris. Other exhibitions worth highlighting are Sincerely yours, at the Valid Foto gallery in Barcelona, Passion and Melody of Mediterranenan at the Center for Contemporary Art in Saint Petersburg and Portraits at Shed Two on the Tarragona coast pier.
Looks
The LOOKS exhibition cycle is a cultural initiative that weaves the entire territory in a collaborative way, highlighting the local heritage through the observation of the four elements of nature: water, earth, fire and air.
Each of the elements will be the subject of an annual exhibition, completing the series in four years and increasing the legacy of the historical archive of the College of Architects with the donation of photographic records that will build the exhibitions.
In this way, from a local perspective, we will share and debate global commitments.
