PRESENTATION
ESTUDIO SEGUÍ is a large, multidisciplinary technical team founded in 1975, with offices in Málaga and Madrid. It undertakes architectural, planning and design projects on a variety of scales, ranging from building and urban development to city and regional planning, tackling the technical and administrative processes involved in a joint and integrated manner.
TECHNICAL TEAM
With offices in Málaga and Madrid, it brings together a multidisciplinary team that collaboratively develops the various aspects of the project, ranging from architecture and design to the city and the wider region.
The technical team is organized into specialized areas that work together in a cross-functional and coordinated manner across the various scales of architecture and planning, integrating their expertise into every phase of the project.
This technical structure includes specialized engineering teams (Structures, Systems, and Environment), which participate jointly in the work processes through professional collaboration partnerships.
Research and dissemination:
As a complementary activity to its professional practice, the Studio pursues its own programme of research, publishing and dissemination of architectural and urban culture.
This is the context in which Editorial Geometría operates; established on the Studio’s own initiative in 1985, it publishes the Revista Geometría and its monographs, thereby seeking to contribute to professional debate and disciplinary research by providing significant material on the experience of intervening in our cities.
SCALES
The ability to work across the different scales of architecture, planning and design has become one of ESTUDIO SEGUÍ’s key characteristics in terms of the diversification of its production processes. This collaborative approach across these scales has enabled us to develop a method that seeks to integrate professional dialogue between the scales of architecture and planning as two inseparable sides of the same coin.
PRODUCTION
One of the key characteristics of ESTUDIO SEGUÍ is our integrated approach, utilising BIM and GIS software across the various scales of architecture, planning and design.
This cross-cutting, multidisciplinary approach enables us to view architecture and planning as two inseparable dimensions of a single design process, establishing an ongoing dialogue between their different scales.
