AL BORDE is the Ecuadorian architecture firm founded in 2007 by David Barragán, Esteban Benavides, Marialuisa Borja, and Pascual Gangean. Al Borde has received numerous awards and recognitions including the 2012 Schelling Architecture Prize in Germany and the 2013 World Prize for Sustainable Architecture in Paris. In 2016 they were part of the official selection of the Venice Architecture Biennale. They won the Ibero-American Panorama of Works Award at the XI BIAU 2019 in Paraguay.

"We pursue an architecture whose aesthetics is aware of the energy spent in construction. Design is addressed with the sustainability of life at the center of discussions about resources, co-responsibility, consumption, gender, and social inequalities. The diversity of our projects represents the will of people to commit to the ideas, take risks, and to be involved in decision-making." - Al Borde, February 28, 2022

This Lecture and the associated Donghia Master Class - led by Marialuisa Borja at Otis College of Art and Design March 17-23, 2022 - are made possible through a generous donation from the Angelo Donghia Foundation.
