Product description

We believe that the way forward for architecture at this time is its integration with engineering and urban design, in what we have come to call 'macro-cities' through what we call 'urban-engitecture'.

The objectives of 'urban-engitecture' are clear: to contribute forcefully to achieving sustainability and quality of life in cities.

Our basic (disruptive) idea is that buildings are obstacles that condition, limit and hinder us: both mobility in general and the quality of public spaces are directly affected by them in a very negative and permanent way. The solution we propose is to free up the ground level by 'elevation'. This simple idea also provides another series of additional advantages of great importance with respect to security, stability and quality of life conditions in general

Key characteristics and environmental benefits

There are two main factors (related to functioning and livability) that are causing unsustainability in current cities: mobility issues and bad and insufficient public spaces (along with other problems like architectural inefficiency in terms of energy saving and poor general quality caused by insufficient quality standards).

We think both problems are directly caused by buildings (we compare them with ‘obstacles’) hindering mobility and limiting public space. For this reason, we advocate for elevation in future urban developments to avoid these two main causes of unsustainability and make neighborhoods more livable.

About the Company

At diffjustdiff we always ask ourselves how can we contribute to the real sustainability: Is short-term thinking the way to reach that sustainability? How can we pave the way for sustainability towards a real common good? Are our buildings and cities offering good enough living conditions? Can 'a different urban planning & architecture' guarantee a long-term human (and humane) ecological living? Diffjustdiff mission is conceiving, designing and developing architectural ideas of the city for the next future in line with the principles of sustainable architecture and urban planning. We feel and firmly believe that offering a better alternative is our appointed duty. diffjustdiff explores the actual possibilities in architecture and urban planning starting from building another type of city for the future, drastically reducing pollution while improving living standards, guarantying structural stability despite considerable heights in high-raise building, fostering transportation and mobility at different heights, offering multiple escape alternatives in emergency cases, freeing the ground level for its use as public space, having good lightning, ventilation and sight qualities for everyone, generating community feeling. We reimagining what our cities can be: places that offer better safety, better mobility, and a better quality of life for everyone.
