Ibiza architects MG&AG Architects: "Authenticity in architecture is complicated".
In a recent interview published by DistritoHotel, the MG&AG Arquitectos team, formed by Miguel García Quetglas and Andrés García Castiella, reflects on the complexity of maintaining authenticity in contemporary architecture. From their studio on the island, the architects in Ibiza emphasize that the challenge is not only to design buildings, but to understand the identity of the place and reinterpret it in a coherent way.
The studio defends a philosophy based on the deconstruction of Ibizan architecture, recovering traditional materials and construction techniques to adapt them to new geometries and functional needs. This look towards the architectural essence, deeply linked to the Ibizan landscape, has defined their personal seal and has allowed them to consolidate themselves as a reference in architecture in Ibiza today.
"Building in Ibiza demands respect: not only for the natural environment, but also for the history and culture that inhabit it," says Andrés García Castiella. A vision that summarizes the line of work of MG&AG Arquitectos, where authenticity becomes the basis of a contemporary and sustainable architectural language.
