“Estudio Abierto / Open Studio is a collaborative think-and-do tank, operating at the intersection between architecture and urbanism. A planning and design consultancy, a philosophical outpost for radical departure from modernity, a place to reclaim the social and political agency, a hub for synergistic collaboration between arts, social sciences and the built environment disciplines—Open Studio practices the transmodern thinking of dramaturgical consciousness. It is open to architects, urbanists, artists, scientists—anyone who wishes to be part of any of the ongoing projects or to start one by themselves—truly, this studio is open. ”
