Michel will be speaking in Murcia on Sunday, February 21st.

“Some background from Jose Maria Torres Nadal:

I am architect teaching like full professor on project Design at Alicante University Architectural School, and practicing in Alicante southeast Spain. You can see my web and blog at wwwtorresnadal.com At the same time I am director of Observatory for Sustainability in Murcia 8 ( is another big city 80 kms. south). The Observatory is working on 7 projects ( Human beings at Huerta de Murcia; All age city ; Productive Golf; Shrink our energy demands; Waves and Sea Energy; Badlans Raid and slow landscape and Scenario of deterioration. AS you can see we are working more than services collaborative for architecture than buildings. I think is a really a modern issue to understand a new way to work on architecture and to re-think the role of architects on public engagements.

Perhaps something similar on architecture that Nicolas Bourriaud call Relational Aesthetics on art. As a director of OBS I am organizing two kinds of exhibition. One is to explain in Murcia our work . It will be for popularizing and communicate our aims on sustainability . The other is to explain abroad our level and results of our investigation. Venetia Biennale could be a perfect scenario perfect.

At the same time in the University I am working about concepts p2p applied to architecture. For us it would be a great pleasure if I have the opportunity to show the level of our work, our aims and the way to get it.”
