Ernesto Klingenberg Calvo | L35 Arquitectos

Q. Given the current global situation with the pandemic does L35 envisage in the near future a greater emphasis in projects on inside and outside transitions? Do you think your clients appreciate the importance of combining Architect with Landscape Architect?
A. At L35 we think architecture is about connecting people, not about isolating them. Personally, I refuse to design for a virus infected environment. Indeed, “outdoors” is an ever-important driver for most of our projects - pre or post pandemic. Public space is what glues projects together, so landscaping is important and luckily most clients understand this.
Q. How much do L35 value the exterior space surrounding their buildings in terms of human health and well-being and sustainability? ie. Reducing heat island effect through green roof/walls
