About this issue
Aulets practices out of Mallorca, and the island is not incidental to what they do. Architecture here is understood as a means of making a territory habitable for the community that lives in it, using the resources a specific place already holds. That premise pushes the studio well past the business of putting up buildings: its work extends into activating productive processes and reshaping how those practices are taught in schools of architecture.
The range on show runs from the regeneration of vulnerable neighbourhoods to the adaptation of public space for a changing climate, and on to initiatives such as forest conservation. El Croquis organises two decades of this output into three sections named for the materials that structure it — Earth, Stone and Wood — a framing that reads the work through what it is made of and where that material came from.

About El Croquis
Founded in Madrid in 1982 and edited by Fernando Márquez Cecilia and Richard Levene, El Croquis publishes six issues a year and is widely regarded as the most exacting architectural monograph series in circulation. Its volumes on established figures function as de facto oeuvres complètes, while for emerging practices inclusion is a marker in its own right.
