Critical Concrete is a brand that specializes in social and sustainable architecture. Since 2015, they have been conducting research on urban sustainable strategies and refurbishing socially relevant spaces through their theoretical and practical educational programs. Their programs cater to anyone interested in sustainable architecture theory, construction work, and making a tangible social impact.

This includes architects, architecture and design students, makers, and engineers. Their flagship postgraduate course, Sustainable-Sustainable Architecture, offers a combination of practical construction experience and taught content on various social and sustainable topics. In 2021, they launched criti.

co, an online learning platform focused on sustainable education. This platform brings together individuals and organizations in sustainability to create online courses that share specific expertise. These courses include theoretical input, interactive communication tools, and hands-on assignments.

Critical Concrete also operates a production center in the Ramalde neighborhood, where they develop ideas and techniques for sustainable and repairable construction processes. Additionally, they regularly organize social events such as repair cafes, workshops, team-building activities, movie sessions with vegan dinners, and yoga classes. While these activities are currently on hold for refurbishment, they hope to restart them soon.
