DI55ECCIONS with Carmelo Zappulla

We continue the third season of our cycle of conferences, curated by Inés Peláez and the branding agency Toormix. The protagonist of the second session of the 2018/2019 academic year, which will be held on Wednesday 19th December at 19:00h, will be Carmelo Zappulla, PhD Architect, faculty member at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and director of our Official Master's Degree in Experiential Interior Design. Together with Nacho Toribio, he founded External Reference Architects, a studio that is committed to design and research in the fields of sensorial spaces, interior design, architecture, and landscape bio-design. The company has received numerous awards, including the Best Restaurant Design Award at the SBID International Design Awards 2017 for the Catalan restaurant "Alkimia".

"I consider architecture as the result of the interrelationship between its constituent parts: aesthetic, tectonics, social, environmental, cultural and organizational. When the project is focused only on one or a few of these levels, this is when hollow formalisms are generated", defends our next speaker, whose works have been exhibited in various cities. He has also written research articles for different prestigious publications within the sector.
