Fent Estudi Coop. V. is a Valencian cooperative made up of architects, town planners and technicians. It was founded in 2016 by Eva Raga i Domingo, Isabel Gonzalez Galindo and Francisco Azorin Chico. We carry out studies and projects involving active citizen participation and making use of locally available resources, in the aim of creating fairer and more inclusive urban architectural environments.

We are motivated by the creation of mutually beneficial relationships between people and their built environment, conscious of the fact that stakeholder participation is vital to achieving holistic knowledge and understanding of the terrain so as to bring about results that address the requirements of both a particular space and the population that inhabits it. Over the past few years, we have come to specialise in processes regarding urban and social innovation, as well as in the development of multidisciplinary methodologies, driven by the desire to pursue new ways of seeing and working in a variety of contexts.
