MAPAAC is a practice with offices in Spain and Chile, led by Pablo Núñez, Cristian Larraín, Matías Madsen, and Juan Vicente. They have the capacity to assemble multidisciplinary teams capable of addressing all aspects involved in the planning, design, construction, and analysis of building complexes.

They integrate the experience and knowledge of its partners in the development of large-scale, strategic, and public-use projects (healthcare, educational, sports, research, residential, etc.). The team is capable of confidently approaching professional practice, understanding it as a multidisciplinary, collective project aimed at providing effective, diverse, and natural solutions to complex problems.
