Jose Ortega and Gasset Foundation

Fortuny 53, 28010, Madrid , June 2005 

We tried to build a place for all citizens to meet: students, architects (men & women) and all those associations and professionals related to the construction of a world of life and freedom. Directed to all who - still - believe that the construction of inhabitable spaces, is possible. Possible for our pockets. Possible for our desires. Possible for those who are new and for the ones who have been here for sometime. Possible for the new families we are creating, emergent models for a new society. Possible for daily life. Possible for work. For dreams. Possible for women and men who share different routines and lifestyles.
