WikiHousing on betevé: Entrem als habitatges del futur

On February 27, 2025, journalist Lausa Siles and camera operator Gisela Uclés from Barcelona’s betevé visited our workshop to learn more about the WikiHousing Barcelona project.

Their aim was to explore how this model for affordable, modular, and sustainable housing works. During their visit, Óscar Osuna and David Juárez shared insights into the building system and the collaborative process behind it, which is based on prefabricated timber and open-source principles.

Talk: My Best Mistake

David Juárez (Straddle3), together with other three architects gather at Sala Beckett to talk not about success, but about failure. Instead of showcasing triumphs, this event focuses on missteps as a crucial part of the creative and professional journey. An open invitation to reflect, learn — and laugh — about what didn’t go as planned.

In a moment of climate emergency and housing crisis, traditional architectural and urban practices fall short. We must take risks, explore new paths — and that means making mistakes.

Wikihabitat

WikiHabitat is a solution that allows affordable housing stocks to be expanded in European cities in a faster, cheaper, greener and more inclusive way. It proposes doing so especially in central neighborhoods, which suffer more from rising rent prices. Guaranteeing the population's access to homes in these neighborhoods can reduce pollution as they are more walkable and cyclable and better served by public transport.

End of the work on Habitatge Jove Caldes

Finally, the work on the “Habitatge Jove Caldes” building has been completed successfully and in record time. As planned, the work has been carried out in two differentiated phases, which has allowed for a very considerable reduction in costs and deadlines. As of April 2022 and over five months, the off-site prefabrication tasks, consisting of the preparation of 3D modules - based on reused shipping containers - and two-dimensional —cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs and facade panels.
