This monograph documents the trajectory of the studio led by Felipe Pich-Aguilera and Teresa Batlle between 2005 and 2012. Their work stands out for presenting an architecture deeply committed to sustainability, understood not as a trend but as a constant pursuit of technical innovation and social responsibility.
Picharchitects approaches architecture as a "bioclimatic envelope" that filters and manages natural conditions to create sustainable and comfortable living spaces. This interdisciplinary approach combines the perspectives of architects, engineers, physicists, and biologists, establishing a dialogue between technology, natural resources, and environmental demands.
The publication showcases emblematic projects such as the Telefónica Móviles Building in Toledo, the Scientific and Technological Agro-Food Park in Lérida, the Sant Joan University Hospital in Reus, and the 22@ Office Building in Barcelona. These examples reflect an architecture where forms are not mere objects but functional expressions of their climatic and technological dimensions.
