SocióPolis

“My house is my neighbourhood, my neighbourhood is my house”. This sentence forms the leitmotif for 12 international teams of architects who have developed and submitted proposals for SocióPolis envisaging social housing, types of building for the future and the complete conception of a city district to be built on the periphery of Valencia, Spain. This exceptional multi-layered research and building project is being presented with the master plan as well as selected architecture projects. In addition, the architects will use their designs as the basis to provide insight into the central themes of their work and their approach.
