STUDIO ROBERTO ROVIRA: PEOPLE, PLACE, AND ECOLOGICALLY–INFORMED DESIGN

Principal of Studio Roberto Rovira, Associate Professor, and Chair of Landscape Architecture + Environmental and Urban Design at Florida International University in Miami, Roberto Rovira will share a series of design and research projects whose approach tries to connect cultural and natural factors in their built and conceptual form. As a landscape architect with a design, engineering, and fine arts background, his teaching, research, and creative works ultimately come back to people, place, and the fertile intersections where these meet.

Roberto has received recognition for his work as an educator and professional by prominent organisations like the ASLA, the CELA, the Architectural League, the AIA, and others. Fast Company magazine recently selected his EcoAtlas Project as a World Changing Idea finalist and he was recognised with an Emerging Voice award by the Architectural League in New York, one of the most coveted awards in North American Architecture. Roberto has been lead designer in national and international projects and his work ranges from environmental installations and competitions, to art commissions and landscape architectural projects.

Lectures are 25-30min talk followed up by 5-10 mins Q&A
