VOLUMES

VOLUMES is a global innovation laboratory committed to supporting the emergence of local ecosystems for positive impact through research, consulting and training in the field of social innovation, circular economy, sustainable food and digital fabrication.

Started in 2015 as the first prototype of Creative and Productive Hub in Paris, Volumes has hosted some of the most vibrant communities of the Parisian social innovation scene and powered a number of initiatives that grew out into independent organizations, including one of the first Foodlab in Europe, a Makerspace, the Fab City Grand Paris initiative and the cooperative Oasis 21.

Volumes is involved in several research projects and runs a number of educational programs, while supporting and consulting different public and private organizations through Europe.

Associate Managing Director

CivicWise

CivicWise is an international distributed and open network that promotes citizen engagement, developing concrete actions and projects based on collective intelligence, civic innovation and open design.

I co-founded CivicWise during a London residency to promote collaborative urbanism and civic
engagement with simultaneous international and local dimensions. The organisation's objective is to
facilitate knowledge exchange at a global level that promotes activities in local contexts, and it is
based on a model of distributed governance, where projects are developed locally by independent
local nodes.

Instigator and Co-founder

Fairbnb.coop

A non extractive alternative to the current vacation rental platforms, that works to connect conscious travelers with fair hosts to promote stronger, more sustainable and equitable communities around the world.

I was in charge of coordinating the actions that will allow the fairbnb.coop alternative platform to operate in direct connection with the local communities, while respecting the right to housing and generating circular economy processes.

My work was focused on generating an innovative connection between the digital platform and the local communities including citizens, hosts and local administrations. One of my main responsibilities was the management of the team in charge of the relationship with the ambassadors and the local administrations.

I am an international consultant on urban and regional policies with special focus on Citizen Urbanism and Civic Design processes.

I am a promoter of several spaces, networks, platforms and communities known for their capacity for innovation, civic transformation and development of alternative economic models. Among them are Volumes Lab in Paris, Factoría Cívica in Valencia, the platform Ciudades Comunes, the international network CivicWise, and the Escuela de Innovación Cívica.

I am driven by professional and entrepreneurial action with purpose, which is why I have also collaborated with projects such as Fairbnb.coop and Cercamia to move from theory to action and to transform consolidated social and economic practices towards fairer and more respectful models of local communities.
