Identity
Our name reflects the idea of territory and the peripheral space that connects the city with nature, and the development of architecture rooted in the place and its identity.
The word “RODAL” has two meanings that define the raison d’être of our studio. On the one hand, it refers to a piece of land that is distinguished from the surrounding area by some circumstance and, on the other hand, it is a local Sabadell term that refers to the peripheral threshold spaces between the city and nature. These two concepts appeal to the will of our team to, by methodology and result, develop a practice far removed from the current hegemonic canon while maintaining the link with the territory.
At RODAL we believe in and practice a dialectical relationship between theory and practice, based on the fact that they are two complementary concepts that cannot be understood without each other. Therefore, while we carry out our architectural projects, we develop a theoretical framework that serves us to design in search of coherence and conceptual evolution. This methodology, which combines the search for knowledge with its practical execution, is the basis for structuring the studio’s two areas of practice: consultancy and architecture.
Thus, the studio is defined by the interplay of contrasting concepts which, far from implying contradiction, add complexity to our proposals and strategies.
