Book Hero thinking about your next read

We work with three different disciplines: Urban Planning, Landscape, and Architecture, attempting to be extremely specialized in each one, without disregarding the unavoidable transversality required today to develop any intervention.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

After 40 years of professional experience developed in three areas of work—City-Territory, Landscape-Public Space, and Building—Batlle i Roig acquires a new commitment and positions itself in the face of the climate emergency, generating a sustainability matrix through which to contextualise your urban projects and urban strategies.

At Batlleiroig, we have been talking about Landscape and Nature since our foundation in 1981. We are committed to the environment and involved in finding solutions to solve the climate emergency.

The motto Merging Cities and Nature serves to bring together our improvement commitments in each of the actions we carry out. We work in three different disciplines: Urbanism, Landscaping, and Architecture, trying to be very specialised in each of them but from the essential transversality that is required to develop any intervention. The climate emergency becomes today our main transversality, the one that should guide our actions.
