Architectural reviewSummary: Formed by a copse of ancient carob or oak trees in the hot dry farmlands of Mallorca, an aulet offers animals respite from the sun and fruit to eat. The small Spanish island in the Balearic Sea may be associated for many with cheap all-inclusive holidays and English breakfasts, but for Francisco Cifuentes and Sebastian Martorell, founders of Aulets and based in Palma, this is a serious architectural concern.
‘Being an architect in Mallorca is to think through alternative projects to change the hyper tourist society that exists here,’ Cifuentes and Martorell admit. The small clutch of Balearic Islands including Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera are inundated with over 15 million tourists a year. In response, Aulets have tasked themselves to protect and uphold the island’s architectural and natural heritage.
