Open lecture by architects José Selgas and Lucía Cano, founders of 'selgascano'. The lecture is part of a series: 'Nature-In-Space: Connecting Nature and Interiors'

Lucía Cano and José Selgas have an original and distinctive approach to architecture where the connection to nature takes place through the dissolution of a translucent or transparent enclosure creating varying relationships and interactions with daylight. Their work is refreshing, full of creativity and youth, and on the other hand, displays a strong commitment to the user. Their interiors feature vibrant atmospheres where elegant combinations of colours and lightweight structures lead users to imaginative experiences. Spatial flow is set between their diverse spaces, extending out, connecting either with winter gardens or the surrounding environment. 

We are thrilled to announce their lecture, a unique opportunity to get to know their work through their own words, as they only present lectures on very exceptional occasions.

About 'Nature-In-Space: Connecting Nature and Interiors'
The lecture series comprises ground-breaking architectural approaches where interior spatial design conducts an outstanding experience of the phenomenon of Nature. The lecture series will enrich our understanding of biophilic architectural design, a biological understanding of architecture, and stimulate the debate and interest in Nature-connected architectural interior design.

The lectures will be introduced/moderated by Postdoc Carmen García Sánchez who organizes them as part of her individual research project Nature-In, the research unit Center for Interior Studies, and the Master programme Spatial Design at the Institute of Architecture and Design, the lecture series combines contemporary design practice with scientific perspectives. The program aligns with the UIA2023CPH World Congress which will be hosted in Copenhagen in July 2023.

We invite all students, architects, and designers - and those interested in architectural design - to join us.

More lectures to come.
