Housing Cooperatives in Uruguay
On Tuesday 14 January at 7:30 pm, Fernando Pérez Blanco, co-founder together with Marta Pelegrín of MEDIOMUNDO architects, will deliver the lecture “Small Great Transformations: Housing Cooperatives in Uruguay” at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences (Cafe1, Nibelungenplatz 1, D – 60318 Frankfurt am Main).
In this talk, Fernando Pérez will share MEDIOMUNDO architects’ perspective on social and participatory architecture, using the Uruguayan model of housing cooperatives as a reference. Drawing on his experience and the research carried out by the practice, he will explore self-management processes, community involvement, and the impact of these small yet significant transformations on the urban and social environment.
Based in Seville and led by Fernando Pérez and Marta Pelegrín, MEDIOMUNDO architects is recognised for its innovative and sustainable approach to cultural, social, and urban projects. Their participation in international forums such as ReNewTalk in Frankfurt reinforces their commitment to research and the dissemination of architectural models that foster collaboration, sustainability, and the improvement of quality of life.
