foams is founded and registered in Madrid, yet itinerant across multiple locations such as Torino, Shanghai, New York and Beijing.
foams is interested in the act of strangeness to contest reality: imagined stories that turn into spontaneous architecture.
foams push new physical realities based on contemporary inputs leading to unexpected outcomes.
foams design critical spaces through a diversity of mediums, locations, processes, materials and scales.
foams is a platform for fun.
foams was a finalist for the 2019 UABB Open Call in Shenzhen, and the Rouen Competition for Concentrico.
Part of our work was published at the Spanish Pavilion b-e-c-o-m-i-n-g of the XVI Bienale di Venezia 2018.
We have collaborated with the Spanish Society Association of Shanghai. Our Second Price for ACP has been
featured in KooZA/rch and Beta-architecture.
foams is Elena Gámez Miguélez + Javier Peláez García.
