Robert Alcock
Robert is an ecological designer, self-builder and writer based in northern Spain. He and his partner Almudena lived for several years in the post-industrial Zorrozaurre peninsula in Bilbao, where they founded a citizens' forum to promote sustainable alternatives for the area, which was faced with 'regeneration' from a Master Plan designed by the late Zaha Hadid—a story that can be read about in his book The Island that Never Was (2015).
They now live with their two daughters in a small village an hour west of Bilbao, where they have built an ecological home and study centre, Abrazo House.
