At present times Alfredo Munoz is constantly traveling, learning from the diverse arts and cultures of the world, and sharing the philosophy of architecture and the lifestyle that ABIBOO represents and proposes everywhere he goes.

>Social Commitment

At ABIBOO Architecture we believe that a better habitat is possible and we are committed to the powerful results that the combination of generosity and architecture can create. In order to do this, approximately 10% of our human and financial resources are donated to social commitment projects around the world.

Architecture is a way to improve the quality of people lives; it provides a framework for social interaction activities and it affects the mind, body and soul. We can help improve the quality of life of our society in the built environment. We strive for sustainability, to support fundamental human rights and to be sensitive to reality.

Areas of particular interest at ABIBOO Architecture as part of our Social Commitment are:

1. Logistical, financial, personnel and know-how support for the infrastructure development in case of emergency situations.
2. Logistical, financial, personnel and know-how support for the sustainable development of new Emerging areas.
3. Logistical, personnel and know-how support to promote education and spatial development of children up to age 15.
