MAP ARCHITECTS

The studio is an experimental architectural platform based in Copenhagen founded by architect David A. Garcia. The studio is active internationally, engaged mostly with projects in challenging environments. The designs span through various scales and spheres of action, often challenging the status quo through innovation and artistic practices while pursuing a cross-disciplinary approach. Collaborative work with engineers, local communities and science, like our collaboration with UNESCO's water resilience department, or NASA, is part of every project we undertake. From master plans in flood prone areas, to efficient design in arctic regions, from desertification or abandoned infrastructure, projects aim to turn hazards into assets intretwining art and science. What exists is only a small part of what is possible, and we design driven by this principle.
