ABLM Arquitectos develops its strategies from a multidisciplinary platform proposing answers to the problems offered by contemporaneity. Within the group, there are different research initiatives such as the LabIO group [Lab of Optimistic Initiatives] that generates proposals of resolution for conflicts from the juxtaposition of architecture, planning and sociology. Another way of research is the search for new proposals in the world of children and youth, within educational and residential programs, opening possibilities and relationships among users.
