Written by Jaime Yordán-Frau, Surviving Marvels of a Stately City captures the splendor of the historic structures within Ponce’s historic center. 📖

By showing the buildings through photographic compositions, the book pays homage to the rich history that fills the streets of Ponce while claiming that there is a substantial amount of history that needs preservation and emphasizing the need to prevent its loss. 🏛️

How we design matters.
At AD&V®, responsibility begins long before construction.

Because buildings are among the world’s largest energy consumers, energy efficiency is embedded into our design process from day one.

As a Certified B Corp®, we understand responsibility not as a statement, but as a continuous process.

It starts at the drawing board.

Designing Places of Purpose® means taking ownership of the impact our buildings will have—today and decades from now.
