Teresa Gali-Izard

Nominated

The Catalan architect Teresa Galí-Izard is nominated for the Schelling Architecture Award 2024. She sees her task as a landscape architect as influencing how people connect with living systems.
The systemic nature of the projects that transform the logic of nature has many layers and scales. Teresa Galí-Izard is familiar with the language and behaviour of water, vegetation, soils, tree architecture and plant life cycles. At the same time, she knows how to identify parameters that intervene in rule-based systems, including infrastructures, management, urban metabolism, temporality and seasonality.
Her Chair of Being Alive at ETH Zurich is a kind of statement through its substantial name alone and deals in the truest sense with life cycles, living beings and the landscape as a basis for life to be rethought.
