Barcelona architects Calderon-Folch-Sarsanedas aim at Chinese and Taiwanese markets

Calderon-Folch-Sarsanedas Arquitectes (CFS) is an architecture office in Barcelona founded in 2000 and led by Pilar Calderon, Marc Folch and Pol Sarsanedas that has been awarded in Spain in 2004 and 2012 with the AJAC prize for Young Architects and the Isover Energetic Efficiency Prize 2012. Apart from the quality of their designs, they are renowned for working with the most up-to-date sustainability and urban strategy criteria and they have been certified Passive House Designers by the Passivhaus Institute (Germany).

During these 13 years Calderon-Folch-Sarsanedas Arquitectes have worked on many different scale projects from the initial conceptual designs, the development of detailed projects and further on-site works supervision. Most of them have become reality after winning open international architecture competitions both in Spain and abroad. Some of the most prominent results have been  a 3^rd prize in the competition for the New Campus for the UTEC University in Lima, Perú; the 3^rd prize in the competition of the New Yacht Marina and Facilities in Bydgoszcz, Poland; and the 1st prize in competition for the Center Léonce Georges in Chauffailles (France), a building that is already completed at this moment.

Calderon-Folch-Sarsanedas Arquitectes are aiming now at new markets. In the process of getting known in other parts of the world, they have recently had their website translated into both simplified and traditional Chinese, in order to let professionals from China and Taiwan to learn about their work from first hand. They are currently establishing contacts with architecture studios in these two countries, in order to find new insights, fresh angles, challenging ideas and, why not, rewarding projects to be jointly developed.
