Lecture title: Being Alive

In her lecture, Prof. Teresa Galí-Izard describes what it means today to educate, disseminate, build, imagine – for humans and non-humans, amid the current social, political, and ecological crises we are facing. How, as a practitioner, educator, and researcher, she (re)acts to those contemporary crises and (en)acts new scenarios addressing them. What keeps her motivated, (and alive) and her particular interests, knowing she is only a voice in a larger conversation, in today’s context of uncertainty. 

Teresa Galí-Izard is a Professor of Landscape Architecture at ETH Zürich and Director of the Master of Science in Landscape Architecture programme. She is a principal of ARQUITECTURA AGRONOMIA, a landscape architecture firm based in Barcelona. Galí-Izard is the author of The Same Landscapes: Ideas and Interpretations and is trained as an agronomist at Polytechnic University of Catalonia.
