His professional practice is characterized by bringing together the experimental forms of art, design and architecture. She has been executive director of the Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York and the first woman to lead the Architectural Association in London. She also holds the position of Distinguished Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Shanghai, is a professor at UMPRUM (the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague), visiting professor at Princeton University and Cooper Union in the USA and she is the co-founder and artistic director of Model (Barcelona Architecture Festival). His work has been exhibited internationally at the Barcelona FAD, the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Vitra Design Museum or the Shenzhen Architecture Biennale, among others.

At the end of the conference there will be a dinner-colloquium with the speaker at the Barhaus restaurant. You can sign up by sending an email to comunicacio.tar@coac.netDinner price €22.
