Award-winning Spanish architect and current Victor L. Regnier Distinguished Visiting Professor at Kansas State University, Fran Silvestre, will talk about his studio’s creative process. According to architecture critic and journalist David Cohn, “Silvestre’s designs are not simply solutions to given design problems, though he tends to present them as such. They absorb and distill the myriad issues of program, site and context, structure, building technologies and so on, subsuming them into the play of space and form that could be understood as the true subject of his architecture.” Fran Silvestre will reveal the most important values of his architecture and the methods his studio uses to achieve such innovative projects.
