GRANDEZA STUDIO (Amaia Sánchez Velasco, Jorge Valiente Oriol and Gonzalo Valiente) is a collective of architects and artists based between Madrid and Sydney and founded in 2011. Their work studies late-capitalist spaces and narratives to identify –through critical analysis– and challenge –through political imagination– the mechanisms that veil and normalize structural forms of violence against bodies and territories. To do so, they develop transdisciplinary methodologies, entangling research and spatial practice, with writing, performance, design, filmmaking and pedagogy.
LOCUMENT (Francisco Lobo and Romea Muryń) is a research studio that combines filmmaking with architecture and urban research. They use architecture and film as analytical, critical and subversive tools to emphasise contemporary issues and dissect their resolutions. They see the importance of observing rapidly changing social conditions through the influential factors of technology, economy, politics and urban environment.
