Confesiones: Conferencia del Arquitecto Pablo Castro, OBRA Architects Cátreda Cerámica Madrid (lecture series) E.T.S.A.M. (Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid) of the U.P.M. (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) Wednesday 23 April 2012 12:30pm Location: Sala de Conferencias. Pabellón antiguo, ETSAM OBRA Architects was founded by Pablo Castro and Jennifer Lee in the year 2000 in New York City. This year marks the opening of their second office in Beijing. The projects undertaken by OBRA span a wide range of programs and sizes, from furniture and interior landscapes to single-family residences, housing, and larger-scale masterplanning projects, yet consistently seek to evoke invention and interest through explorations of material, structure, site and experience. Their practice and their work seek to challenge and expand the range of metaphors in which architecture finds its meaning. OBRA considers each and every project to be intimately bound to its surroundings, extending afield into site and landscape the conceptual understanding of the architectural work. As a result many proposals and built works include outdoor components and integration into the natural or urban landscape.
