Paredes-Meias, in common parlance, means that two houses share one single wall, dividing the supporting forces between its various pillars. This is the name of the COOPERATIVE we form, whose main motto is to develop socio-cultural projects as a team, be they co-operators, partners or communities.
Dedicated to building diverse proposals and involving a multifaceted team that covers different areas of design and the arts, the cooperative’s driving force is the collective, without hierarchies.
Paredes-Meias allows its members to develop their individual and team work, stimulating professional and human ties, developing current ways of realising knowledge, exploring innovative skills and tools and making them available to all the communities around them.

It is a coalition of various workshops/ateliers, involving crafts like carpentry, scenography, architecture, luthiery, interior design, painting and costume design. A part, of its members daily routine, it offers workshops/courses to share and pass its handcraft knowledge to everyone interested, particularly to future generations. Making it a place of excellence for expanding and amplifying questions – creating other, more ethical, fair and collective economic futures.

Being part of the Constructlab network promotes a constant sharing of themes, experiences and methodologies with different contexts and geographies, which contributes to enriching and deepening our own experience.
