Gaudí Research Centre's strategy is built upon the integrative vision of its founder, Shelley Tsang, in which architecture, innovation, and lifestyles are not separate domains but a synergistic whole. Our priorities are framed not as parallel tracks, but as a deeply interconnected triad guiding our mission to evolve Gaudí’s legacy for the 21st century.
 
Architecture as a Living System
 
We advance the principle that buildings should emulate nature's intelligence. Our research focuses on biophilic design, structural biomimicry, and adaptive materials, moving beyond static forms to create spaces that breathe, respond, and evolve like organic entities.

Innovation as an Interface with Nature

We explore how advanced computational design, AI, and bio-fabrication can serve as mediators between human creation and natural wisdom. Technology, in our view, is not an end in itself but a means to achieve a deeper, more responsive harmony with the environment.
 
Lifestyles as the Ultimate Context
 
We place human experience and spiritual well-being at the centre of our work. Drawing from Gaudí’s concept of 'total art,' we prototype environments that nurture community, inspire wonder, and enhance the daily quality of life, ensuring that innovation remains deeply human-centred.

These priorities are interconnected through collaborative studios and real-world prototypes, ensuring that every project embodies the fusion of architectural poetry, technological sensibility, and life-enhancing purpose.
