Founded by José Fernando Gómez Marmolejo in 2015, Natura Futura is an architecture studio focused on exploring socio-spatial issues in Latin American cities through experimentation and research. The practice emphasizes contextual design, engaging local traditions and emotional narratives while seeking to redefine collective dimensions and urban processes. Natura Futura works with simple frameworks that allow for knowledge transfer and community involvement. The studio has received awards from the Quito Pan-American Biennial and has exhibited at the Architecture Festival in Bali and Valparaíso. In 2020, it won three awards at the Quito Biennial and in 2022, the Brick Award in Vienna.
