Learn how to generate a concept from references and create added value by incorporating storytelling

Each space has a story and how to tell it is a mission that Ana Arana and Enrique Ventosa—founders of the architecture and design studio Plutarco—are passionate about. Through the study and search for references, they develop a unique concept for each of their projects, which helps them stand out from the competition and win new clients.

In this course, learn the appropriate references for each type of architectural project and how, through research and documentation, you can find those that interest you most to carry out your project introducing an added value.
