The cooperative group of architects La Col – along with other local offices based in Barcelona – exemplify a strong commitment to socially and environmentally sustainable housing in their proposals. Focusing on collective housing models, their work challenges traditional ownership structures by promoting self-management, affordability and strong community ties. La Borda redefines urban housing through communal spaces, ecological construction and cooperative ownership. A visit to La Borda offers a first-hand look at their innovative approach to democratising housing and promoting social cohesion through architecture.
