2G 86: Arquitectura-G explores the innovative work of Arquitectura-G, a young architectural studio from Barcelona. Founded by Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes, and Igor Urdampilleta during Spain's economic crisis, the studio initially focused on apartment renovations before expanding to new buildings, including the award-winning Luz house. Their designs blend local 1970s and 80s architectural references with a fresh, hedonistic Mediterranean style. The book also highlights their international projects, such as stores for the fashion brand Acne in major cities and a residential development in Portugal.

Arquitectura-G is a young architectural studio based in Barcelona, run by Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes, and Igor Urdampilleta. The studio began its professional career amidst the economic crisis, a time when public architecture competitions in Spain were paralyzed and private housing construction was at a standstill.

Their initial projects were apartment renovations in Barcelona, the few opportunities the market offered at that time. In recent years, however, they have started to undertake the construction of new buildings. Notably, their Luz house project earned them the Mies van der Rohe Award for Emerging Architecture in 2015.

Their work navigates between references to local architecture of the 1970s and 80s and a fresh interpretation of hedonistic Mediterranean architecture. Beyond their projects around Barcelona, Arquitectura-G has also constructed four stores for the fashion brand Acne in Nagoya, Stockholm, New York, and Paris. Currently, they are involved in a residential project in Portugal.
