"Font del Gos has a special relationship with nature; the landscape is the greatest resource for its inhabitants. Not just as raw materials to be extracted, but as a spiritual source and strong identity for locals. The project is rooted in the barrio's connection with the hill, expressing itself through a catalog of housing, economic, ecological, and social solutions."
