Superadobe construction system
Given the interest in low-tech technologies in general and in earthen architecture, seen as an ideal tool for the development of community empowerment projects and their implementation in the absence of funding, there has always been a lot of fascination for the “Superadobe” construction system. So at the beginning of 2012 I went to […]

The lockdown limited the […]
Sorbole: The Dome of Letters
2016 The ephemeral and early intervention. PLEASE NOTE: THIS INITIATIVE WAS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE “LUCES DE BARRIO 2016” PROGRAM OF THE “URBAN HABITAT, CULTURE AND TOURISM AREA OF THE SEVILLE CITY COUNCIL,” COMMISSIONED BY NOMAD GARDEN, REPORTED BY SURNAMES, AND PRODUCED BY EL MANDAITO. ITS IMPLEMENTATION WAS MADE POSSIBLE THANKS TO THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN […]
Geodetic workshop – Symbioza 34th EASA Festival 2014
ATTENTION: “GEODESIC GEOMETRIES” IS THE EVOLUTION OF THE WORKSHOPS THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN SINCE 2012, OF THE RESEARCH THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITHOUT PAUSES SINCE THEN AND OF THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT WITH THE TECHNIQUE DURING THIS TIME. IT IS ADVISED TO STUDY ALL THESE ASPECTS TO HAVE A MORE COMPLETE VISION OF THE TOPIC. Background: […]
Workshop: Superadobe
ATTENTION: THE SUPERADOBE TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN CODIFIED BY THE IRANIAN ARCHITECT NADER KHALILI. FOR MORE INFORMATION, WE ADVISE YOU TO CONSULT THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE CALEARTH CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OR THAT OF ITS SPANISH DELEGATION AND READ THE ARTICLE WE HAVE PUBLISHED ON THIS TECHNIQUE. Ctrl+Z has been trained in the Superadobe technique directly at the […]
Workshop: Geodesic domes
GEODETIC GEOMETRIES – WORKSHOP The Ctrl+Z “Geodetic Geometries” training workshops are aimed at all those who, out of necessity or curiosity, want to learn about construction systems based on Geodetic Geometries and learn how to build structures and habitable spaces from them. The workshops can be developed at different levels and can be taught both in […]
Workshop: Participatory Architecture
A teaching program is proposed designed to introduce participants to a different way of approaching architectural projects and the sociocultural environments in which they can be developed. Program and objectives One of the most widespread work schemes today, competitions, invites participants to develop an architectural program based on […]
Mathematical Sculptures
Over the past decade Ctrl+Z has developed low-tech systems for community empowerment and building functional structures based on geodesic geometries. Simultaneously, theoretical research has been developed around the ideas of symmetry, chirality and specularity of geometric configurations as a whole and of their elements and […]
Active citizenship – Urban actions in public spaces
ATTENTION: THIS PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE THE CREATION OF CTRL+ZY. IT IS THE RESULT OF A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS BETWEEN DIFFERENT ACTORS. FOR A CORRECT UNDERSTANDING, I INVITE YOU TO LEARN ABOUT THE OTHER PARTIES DIRECTLY INVOLVED: LA CALLE ES DE TODOS (SEVILLA), ARQUITECTURA Y COMPROMISO SOCIAL (SEVILLA), AND COLECTIVO ELLA (SEVILLA). 2008 In […]
Temazcal – Traditional steam sauna
