Read and write reviews about estudioOCA. estudioOCA is an international studio founded by Ignacio Ortinez and Bryan Cantwell in 2007, formed from its origin to focus on urbanism and landscape issues on a global scale. The studio’s primary offices are located in New York, Barcelona and Bangkok. estudioOCA takes a rational, pragmatic approach to urbanization and the landscape, responding to ecological, social, and political forces, and developing frameworks for transformation to meet current and future demands. The studio provides a conceptual rethinking of the public domain, revealing new opportunities for cities and open space. We work in parallel with, and in response to, infrastructure deployment, adapting mobility networks to greater bicycle and pedestrian uses, creating vital interconnections throughout urban environments. We work with cities to extract public space from outmoded uses. We work with architects, engineers, developers and other professionals to build socially interactive places. Our team’s multidisciplinary background, composed of landscape architects, architects, urbanists, and landscape ecologists, allows for a greater understanding of the interface between building, infrastructure, and landscape. Landscape serves as common ground where designed natural systems, urbanised space, and structures intersect.
