Supersudaca

• Founding member

  • Oct 2001 - Present

  In an almost stubborn way Supersudaca refuses to believe that the only space left for architects in Latinamerica is to build villas for rich people (though it does not discard that option altogether!). Its main driving motto has been to connect the usually disconnected Latinamerica architectural arena with projects directly related to the public perception such as recreation spaces, public spaces, installations etc in various locations such as Caracas, Lima, Tokyo, Talca, Buenos Aires. Supersudaca continuously uses the workshop format with students from various universities worldwide to launch campaigns for such projects. Besides direct actions Supersudaca has two ongoing research projects Y PREVI?, related to experimental social housing in Lima from 1969 (best research proposal Bienal Iberoamericana) and Al Caribe! about the impacts of mass tourism in the Caribbean. (best entry award International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam). Supersudaca has been network partner of Prince Claus Funds and was included in the 20 most influential offices of the future by Icon Magazine.
