Husos is an architectural office that operates in the fields of architecture, gardening and urbanism, which are understood as practices of social transformation. Their work examines how these areas of action mediate the relationships that constitute everyday life: relationships to non-human nature, as well as those involving issues of gender and colonial dynamics, among others. These are unpacked through a continuous dialogue between research and design, theory and practice. Husos was founded by Diego Barajas (Bogotá) and Camilo García (Cali) in Madrid in 2003. Based in this city, it operates regularly between Spain and Colombia. It is currently formed by Almudena Tenorio, Camilo García, Diego Barajas and Sem Fernández.
