"Floral Obsession" is an exploration in floral conditions as a matter of design. Reaching from the topological manyfold figures, to Surface Articulation (veining, rippling, frazzling, smooth etc.) to the coloration and various chromatic effects. It is not just about creating an understanding, but about explorations rooted within contemporary scientific insights.
The manyfold expression of form can result in various spatial conditions that will be explored by the students for their potentials as a performative surface as well as for the Economy of Form.

Alberto T. Estevez Studio

Alberto T. Estévez (Barcelona, 1960), Architect (UPC, 1983), Architecture Ph.D. of Sciences (UPC, 1990), Art Historian (UB, 1994), Art History Ph.D. of Arts (UB, 2008): With professional office of architecture and design (Barcelona, 1983-today). Teaching in different universities for more than 30 years, in the knowledge’s areas of architectural design, architectural theory and art history, until founding the ESARQ (UIC Barcelona, 1996), where he teaches like Professor in Architecture, after being its first Director. He founded also two research lines with two masters’ degrees and Ph.D. programmes: “Genetic Architectures / Biodigital Architecture” (UIC, 2000- today) and “History, Architecture and Design” (UIC, 1998- today). He was also the Founder and 1st Director of the UIC PhD Program of Architecture. He has written more than two hundred publications and has participated in a large number of exhibitions, congresses and conferences around Europe, America and Asia.

Escenarios de hibridación, injerto, clonación, morphing, dan lugar a una transformación perpetua de la arquitectura que lucha para romper con las antinomias entre objeto/sujeto, u objeto/territorio.

Scenarios of hybridization, grafting, cloning, morphing give rise to perpetual transformation of architecture which strives to break down the antinomies of object/subject or object/territory.
