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 […]

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 […]
