“Our Goal is to Recover Nature in The Places Where it has Disappeared”: Joan Batlle, from Batlleiroig

Batlleiroig is an architecture firm based in the city of Barcelona, whose extensive portfolio encompasses urban projects, landscaping, buildings, and interior design. We spoke with Joan Batlle Blay, Architect & Landscape Architect and partner at the firm, about the innovations and challenges in his work. According to him, “In our office, we think that R+D (research and development) is the company’s main tool to innovate and evolve our work method into an absolute creed for the planet.” See the full interview below:

Eduardo Souza (ArchDaily): The variety of materials and construction systems and the scale of projects in the office's work is remarkable. What defines the materials and methods used in each of them?

Joan Batlle Blay (Batlleiroig): Each project has its own challenges and its own site, so it is difficult to give a generalized answer. Our way of working follows a methodology of analysis of the territory where the project is located and of the program that is requested, therefore, each project is unique and we believe that it should be like that.
