“It´s said that the disease of our Age is Cancer. Cells that have become selfish and grow without thinking beyond themselves and their growth. Doesn't the same thing happen on a social scale? I believe that our planet, Earth, suffers from it too, as an impact of the way we have been growing since we became conscious. I firmly believe that we will overcome it, ... by changing the paradigm and thinking beyond our individuality". Paula Gómez-Vela
What does Vela Design propose?
TRANSFORM
Health architecture projects for all uses based on research following the Scientific Method.
Maybe you have never been to a basketball match or to the opera, but I am sure that anyone reading these lines has, for some reason, visited a hospital or a school. Vela Design I+D designs, researches, advises and coordinates space improvement projects, delving into the biological effect of the environment from the scientific method (Evidence Based Design), to help create evidence about the best environments for each use. Not only in hospital environments, but in all spaces: Schools, Co-working centres, homes,… because all places should collaborate in people’s health and not harm them. And, by knowing how, it can be done. At Vela Design we know how.
“Be the change you want to see in the world“.
Gandhi
& SENSITIZE
To promote change as well as transforming spaces through architecture, Vela Design holds Conferences, Seminars and workshops on Healing Environments at Congresses, Universities, Schools and Hospitals and other public and private organisations; and also works to raise awareness among young people about caring for the planet and people, through the Intelligent Ecology Educational Project “Caring for Earth”, which helps train teachers, students and their families. Creator of the Caring for Earth Smart Ecology Education method.
“And then they decided to create the most important law on the planet: From now on, – they said – it will only be allowed to design, invent and build, when it is proven that this design will help all the offspring of all the species on the planet, from the ant to the jungle, to live healthy and happy lives!“
