Skene Catling de la Peña Details
Charlotte Skene Catling and Jaime de la Peña founded Skene Catling de la Peña, an architecture practice based in London and Madrid in 2003 and worked together until 2015. Since then, the practice has been carried on by Charlotte Skene Catling. Theirs is a unique approach they call ‘Geoarcheology', seeking to excavate meaning from context as a means of developing architecture. This involves transforming observations about the composition of the earth, historical artefacts and the cultural landscapes of their commissions. There is a strong emphasis on research and collaboration throughout their projects that leads to the rigorous exploration of ideas and possibilities at all scales from concept to detail and enters adjacent disciplines such as film and fine art. This has led to numerous collaborations with artists, with direct engagement to realise new work. They are particularly interested in innovative and unconventional uses of traditional materials in new contexts, and ways in which this can define a new approach to sustainability.
