According to Ted’A, architecture is only socially and artistically relevant when it understands and reflects on the past.

In their lecture, Irene Pérez and Jaume Mayol will use their works and references to describe their unique universe and architecture, which has close ties to traditional values. It is an architecture that observes, understands, translates and updates traditional heritage.

The work of this young Mallorcan studio, made up of Irene Pérez and Jaume Mayol, was recognized early on through the Mallorcan Architecture Awards, which granted first prize in 2014 to the studio's Can Lluís i n’Eulàlia single-family home, which encapsulates the firm's values. In 2013, the same project was selected for the Spanish Architecture and Urbanism Biennial and the FAD Awards for Architecture. The home is designed to fit into and be fitting for the setting through existing materials: a stone structure and the façade of local mares sandstone.

When.- Monday, 23 March 2015, at 7 p.m.
Venue.- ESARQ School of Architecture of the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya. Main Lecture Hall – C/ Immaculada, 22, Barcelona. Spain.
