New Generations is a platform where you can get to know the vanguardist architecture of the 21st century. After a lot of effort #Huellas is released on its platform to talk about the challenges and possibilities of 19th century housing! Thank you very much for the opportunity!
This November the UrbanBat Festival, The City Inside the House, will take place! We have had the opportunity to contribute our grain of sand thanks to the research of the community gardens of Loisaida, in New York and their identity as resilient spaces in the face of the urban impositions/opportunities derived from the COVID19. We are very grateful to participate in these open debates that deal with open urban debates.
If there is a blog worth following to keep up to date with urban issues of participation and awareness, it is the Paisaje Transversal blog. So we can hardly believe that we have been able to contribute to it with the article «Resiliencia milenial en los jardines de Loisaida». It’s a great opportunity to claim the role of community gardens and their collective tools of self-production through platforms like this one!
One of our latest projects, #Huellas, a small bourgeois interior housing transformed to be lived from today’s life, is becoming known in some media like Archello. Thanks to the whole team for making possible the diffusion of our work!
We have started a collaboration with IMNA (Instituto Mutante de Narrativas Ambientales) in Matadero Madrid! We are happy to be able to participate in a project like this. Thank you very much for believing in us!
Last June I was invited to prepare the workshop Ciudad Laboratorio that the team of Ciudad Contexto was organizing in collaboration with the UPV university of Valencia! It was an incredible experience where we explored new ways of living in collaboration and equity with students from all disciplines. Many thanks for having thought of us to explore the matter of housing equity !!
We are very pleased to have published the catalogue of the #WeirdSpace workshop that we launched in collaboration with InjuveSpain. It was a cycle of workshops that explored the city through the production of dinners in rare spaces in Madrid.
After a lot of work, I have been able to capture part of the research behind Loisaida in an article for the Arquia Foundation’s blog. Thanks to Arquia for giving me the opportunity to investigate more about the Loisaida neighborhood in New York.

I did not imagine that I was so excited that our #UpHouse work appeared in the magazine of the College of Architects of Madrid Coam. Historical, eternal, and unique I can say that I have shared publication with the greatest of architecture, which one day they also published in it and this is exciting .. Thanks to the proposal of the management team of the Federico Soriano Magazine, Pedro Urzaiz and Jacobo García-Germánde for persevering in the idea of an open and varied number, which groups diverse and contemporary initiatives of the Architecture of Madrid.

As always, I had a great time as a fish in the water and I hope to have helped all the students who showed their projects. See you in the final jury!

Mariana Pestana and the Matadero Madrid team. Collaborating in the assembly of the
#ecovisionarios expo has been the most !! Thanks to the great team of @ elii_architecture
and @mataderomadrid for inviting me to contribute with my grain of sand in the experience of
assembling the incredible work of @pinaryoldaas !! An adventure of watts, wood and mirrors ...
in which the body feels the heat in its own skin. Thanks to Elii Arquitectura for inviting me to
collaborate with such incredible professionals.
The research project of the #institutomutante of environmental narratives and the #jardincyborg of
@elii_architecture and @mataderomadrid hosted from June to October 2019 the works of resident
artists and special guest works such as those of Rachel Amstrong whose execution I personally
supervised. Thanks to @elii_architecture I was able to coordinate the construction of the Trace Hall
of #RachelAmstrong and Rolph Huges together with @pierangeloscravaglieri and could not be more
cool. The garden, that "hybrid place and evocative of relationships linked to desire and care" is
deployed in the ship 16 of Matadero through the pieces of the artists uh513 (@imperdiblewoman
and Alberto valverde) @otelhan, @we_are_takk, double happiness (@ jo.hwang and @feliz_nerea),
@ robertina.sebjanic and @fito_conesa and the great team of Rachel Amstrong and Rolf Hughes.
In February 2019, I was invited to give a lecture on my doctoral research within the framework of the Global Urban Humanities group, an interesting inter-initiative of the University of Berkeley, California.
