The brief

The question behind the work.

His thesis, "The Power Oasis," is a visionary botanical garden that transforms Barcelona’s iconic Three Chimneys into a catalyst for ecological regeneration. Set in a future of severe drought and rising seas, the project uses solar-powered desalination to sustain native endangered plants, creating a resilient model of coexistence between human and ecological systems. More than a conservation space, it becomes a civic and scientific hub, merging biodiversity, climate innovation, and public engagement at the edge of a transformed Mediterranean coastline.
