BIO-CAS BIO CIUDAD AUTOSUFICIENTE A TRAVÉS DE LAS ALGAS - BIO-SELF SUSTAINABLE CITY THROUGH ALGAE TECHNOLOGY
Cervera & Pioz ARCHITECTS has been selected among the companies in the CENIT -VIDA Project (Research on Advanced Technologies for Comprehensive Valuation of algae), which is the first major joint R & D at Spain, and perhaps at Europe in the field of biotechnology of microalgae, which proposes a Sustainable Bio-Self-Sufficient City through cutting-edge renewable technologies.
The project has been supported by the Ministry of Industry and funded by the CDTI in the call for CENIT

Cervera & Pioz are the first architects granted in a CENIT program.
BIO-STRUCTURES
Cervera & Pioz firm has investigated the growing patterns of natural forms and flexibility, and adaptability laws in Nature to develop a new Theory & Practice for an innovative connection between Nature & Architecture. Our aim is to mimic Nature’s efficiency. We look closely at how Nature builds its incredibly accurate designs, and how everything is perfectly devised to promote energy efficiency. We transport these concepts into our architectural world, and this is how we develop sustainable and constructive systems for our green buildings.
Analysing a whole range of plants and animals, and took a closer look at the structure of tree trunks, bones, etc we reached a number of significant conclusions that allowed us to formulate a complete new structural system. Nature works with cooperation of elements and with the concept of a net.
INDUSTRIAL ECO-PARK
“TRANSFORMING INDUSTRIAL AREAS: INDUSTRIAL ECO-PARKS AS ENERGY FACTORIES”
Cervera & Pioz architects have created a project proposal with an aim to transform currently vacant and/or underused large urban industrial areas into balanced multipurpose urban environment able to be “ENERGY FACTORIES”.
Energy Factories purpose is to combine the regeneration, reutilisation and rehabilitation of existing Industrial Parks with the creation of freshly conceived green building typologies in conjunction with an smart management system to establish a self-sustaining 24 hour multifunctional city area.
Reliance on energy is at the core of 21st century society. There is a steady increase in demand and a foreseeable shortage of supply set to worsen as existing resources continue to be drained. Consequently a change in existing habitat models is vital.

As per the notion of “redefining what is possible in the places we live and work and play”, Energy Factories suggest a timely holistic approach that defies the detrimental belief in continuously consuming the new and discarding the old, which rates so high in environmental costs. It presents us instead with an example of a pioneering, globally viable, financially attractive, ecologically sound and self-reliant positive solution for underused industrial parks throughout the industrialised world.
REMCE - MOBILITY STRUCTURES FOR THE EFFICIENT CITY NETWROK: ENERGY AND ART
Restructuring of the already existent cities with criteria of developing the human interaction between citizens, efficiency in the use of energy, easiness of mobility and beauty in the design is the global objective of this program.
