Josep Bunyesc
Catalunya
A professional committed to sustainability and energy efficiency in architecture. His approach focuses on reversing the trends of globalisation and dependence on non-renewable resources that have dominated urban and architectural development in the 20th century. He advocates for a shift towards a more self-sufficient and sustainable energy model, which is reflected in his approach to bioclimatic designs and the selection of natural and less processed materials. This architect draws inspiration from traditional architectural practices predating the industrial revolution, seeking a balance between functionality, aesthetics and environmental responsibility. His work seeks not only to create physical structures, but also to contribute to a cultural shift towards a more sustainable and resource-conscious way of life.
