Arquitectura Viva 269 - Lacol

The association culture of Barcelona's Sants neighborhood nourishes the practice of Lacol, a collective grounded on participatory and horizontal structures, in the awareness that only in a community spirit can current problems be addressed and market logics dealt with. 'Arquitectura Viva' presents its work in four movements that are simply variations on the same residential theme, placed in context in a short article by Josep Maria Montaner and Zaida Muxi. For its part, this issue's dossier features four buildings designed by Vietnamese firms: VTN Architects, G8A Architects and rollimarchini architects, Tropical Space, and ARB Architects.
