About Critical Concrete

Critical Concrete is an educational and social initiative founded in 2015 by Samuel Kalika, primarily based in Porto, Portugal. The organization promotes a new model for refurbishing socially-relevant spaces such as social housing, cultural centers, and public spaces through various educational formats. Their mission is centered around sustainable architecture and art in context, with a focus on improving communities, especially those with low-income. They offer practical and theoretical programs that involve students and makers in construction work, contributing to refurbishment projects that might otherwise be unaffordable. Critical Concrete is currently restructuring its activities, including a full-on refurbishment of its 650m2 headquarters to serve as a quality space for local activities and workshops, showcasing high-quality but affordable sustainable architecture. They also engage in research on innovative and sustainable insulation systems.
