Abstract: Mario Schjetnan (Grupo de Diseño Urbano) conceives his work in an integral form, construction that comprise the inseparable trilogy of architecture: landscape architecture and urban design. Schjetnan's work is characterized by its interdisciplinary approach in relation to the natural environment and the city, as well as a strong sustainable concern and an ethics committed to minimal impact on natural resources: energy, water, land and nature. Its purpose is to perform works or interventions in the landscape with a sense of excellence in design, always with the aim of improving the quality of life of those who live in them, travel or enjoy their spaces. This book shows some of his most recent accomplishments, all of them constructed in the 21st century and mostly built in the public spaces, who serve the community, but also other architectural character in private developments, with a semi-public scale.
