Vertebral has been selected as a Special Mention in the Architizer A+ Awards for the Best Young Firm category.
In recognition of the exceptional quality of submissions received, the Jury has acknowledged outstanding entries as Special Mentions, alongside our Finalists and Winners. With entries received from over 90 countries, the Special Mention distinction is awarded to work entered that exhibits remarkable achievement.
Vertebral has been included in the list of AD100 Gurús Creativos of March 2023's edition of Architectural Digest magazine, which lists the architects, interior designers and landscape architects who are revolutionizing Latin America without ranking or hierarchy.
AD describes this list as a living, constantly evolving account, as it is not intended to establish a definitive bible of "the best", but rather to be a review and research exercise to nurture the list year after year and present the unstoppable minds that dominate the scene.
Royal Danish Academy offers a free online English version of Pandemiens arkitektur, a compilation of COVID-19 measures in cities and buildings that have been created based on the needs that arose during the pandemic, both in Denmark and internationally. These are solutions that can inspire and contribute to a discussion on how we can value-added pandemic-proof the built environment through a Build Back Better approach. And these are solutions that can become part of our new everyday life after the pandemic.
El Terreno is part of this compilation by being a versatile space to house a kindergarten in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and school closures with the goal of generating a non-referential architecture from materials, modules and construction methods conceived specifically for this project. El Terreno is founded with the idea of being an environmental education center and connection with nature. The products that are grown are distributed in local stores and for personal consumption that are distributed among the users and volunteers of the community.
