We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our official website for the Social Design Foundation! This marks an exciting step forward in our mission to study and enhance the way society functions within built environments.

At the Social Design Foundation, we delve into the intricate dynamics of urban design, architecture, and community planning to uncover what makes spaces truly livable. Our research focuses on creating environments where people love to live, meet, and connect—spaces that foster a better quality of life and stronger social interactions.

Our Mission

• To identify the key factors that make a built environment conducive to better living.
• To explore innovative solutions that strengthen communities and improve urban experiences.
• To share insights that inspire change in urban and social design practices.

We’re continuously conducting research and sharing updates on the latest findings. Be sure to follow us on social media for insights that could redefine how we build and interact within our communities. We have started our foundation mid-2024, in which we focused on our first project: the documentary Kombiná. In 2025 we want to start with a research conducted for different municipalities. We can’t wait to continue our research work into how a society functions and what is needed from the built environment for a better living environment.
