Biourbanism for the Sunny Side of the Planet

This book presents a survey of LPA Studio's professional career, spanning urban planning projects, infrastructure and landscape design. Their designs, texts, technical innovations, concepts and methodologies shows how the office sees each assignment as an opportunity to regenerate the ecological and social systems in the places where they work.

LPA Studio's field of action is limited to the Global South and, particularly, to the subtropics and their specific geographical (coastal), economic (tourism), social (outdoor life) and climate conditions (3,000 hours of sunshine per year). Each project by LPA Studio goes beyond the functional program and aims to improve the living conditions (for humans and non-humans) in the surrounding area, embodying the concept of sun and beach bio-urbanism.
