Join renowned architect Tatiana Bilbao as she explores how her designs are grounded in the belief that architecture is not just about buildings, but about creating spaces that serve as platforms for human existence. Drawing from her innovative projects, Bilbao demonstrates how the built environment—whether a house, a garden, or an unexpected structure like an aquarium—can empower individuals to shape their own experiences and possibilities.
At the heart of her discussion is the question: What does it mean to create a platform that enables anyone to shape their own possibility of existing on this planet? Bilbao examines the ethics, responsibilities, and deep connections to land and culture that inform her work, offering a unique perspective on how architecture can foster a stronger bond with life, nature, and the world around us.
