b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

b720 –founded in 1997 by Fermín Vázquez, Ana Bassat and Adriana Plasencia– has offices in Barcelona, Madrid, Porto Alegre and Sao Paulo. b720 is first and foremost a team. The practice produces architecture that is resolutely contemporary and reflects its commitment to the responsible use of natural resources. The coherence of the firm’s work is based on a distinctive way of working that deliberately avoids the development of a particular style or formalistic approach. Each project emerges from the search for a specific solution, with clients and society as essential reference points. The response to the programme, context, budget and time constraints is necessarily unique. 720 is the number assigned to architecture under the international coding system for materials. The name of the team is thus an abstract, codified reflection of the firm’s founding mission to produce good architecture (buena arquitectura, in Spanish).
