WINNER – (me)tsä
WINNER
Justo Diaz (ES), architect & Guillermo Pozo (ES), architect
(me)tsä emerges from the union of two finnish words: me (us) and metsä (forest), that embrace the inclusive and resilient spirit of the project. We understand forests as a constant changing living organism where non-living and living species coexists in interdependence and establish a self-sufficient and sustainable community aware of its nearby environment. Basing the proposal in these principles, (me)tsä attends contemporary society housing requirements from a 21st century architecture perspective. Being aware of the environmental impact of construction, the project implements zero-waste management policies and sustainable industrizalized timber and CLT systems to its development, ensuring a low energy consumption urbanism and architecture.
