ALTRE (which means “other” in Valencian) is an architecture, design, and curatorial studio working at the intersection of art, culture, and thought in the city of València.
Our work emerges from attention: from looking at the other, at the alterity that completes us. We are inspired by the diverse cultural and symbolic ways of inhabiting, creating, and thinking the world. We do not believe in universal or neutral viewpoints, and for this reason we celebrate that which is not identical to us. To look at the other is not to observe from the outside, but to participate in what unfolds collectively. We understand space not as a neutral backdrop, but as a critical, narrative, and political device: a place to accompany processes, activate perspectives, and celebrate difference.
Yet we look from a specific place, from a situated and grounded position. It is the territory and its community that anchor us in the world through culture. In the tension—always inclusive—between the familiar and the diverse, our practice takes shape.
