Author Information

"Anna Grichting is a Swiss architect, urbanist, and musician and graduated with a Doctor of Design in Urbanism from Harvard University. She is passionate about designing with, and not against, Nature and Mother Earth and going beyond our Anthropocentric view of the world to include all living organisms in a balanced development. She was recently teaching at Qatar University, mainly to female students, whom she was committed to empowering and inspiring to become future leaders in the fields of sustainable and holistic architecture and urban design. She is working on research on a Living Laboratory at Qatar University to co-design the campus for the Food Water Energy Nexus, a grant I received from the Belmont Forum. She is interested in multidisciplinary research and projects that bring together the arts, the sciences and engineering and my research focuses on Regenerative Urban systems, Food Urbanism and Urban Biodiversity in Drylands, Blue Urbanism and Water Sensitive Urban Design, Ecological Planning in Conflict Landscapes, Urban Legacies of Mega Events, Public Art and Public Space. Her projects and research have taken her beyond Europe to Iran, Cyprus, Korea, Japan, Australia, the Balkans, Turkey and the USA. Her professional experience includes working for the Mayors office in Geneva and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. She have produced and performed with the musical projects Desert Bridges in Qatar, Sufi Moon in Pakistan, and Bordermeetings in Switzerland and have just recently created the Anna Jazz and Roses Trio in Geneva. Vicente Guallart ( b. Valencia 1963) chief architect of the city of Barcelona and general director of Urban Habitat since 2011. Guallart has been founder of Guallart Architects (1993) and of IAAC (Institute of Advanced Architecture in Catalunya) (2001). Pioneer of interaction between nature, technology and architecture proposes new paradigms based in urban, social and cultural conditions emerging from information society, he crosses boundaries through collaborations in geology, sociology, engineering, fabrication, economics, and software design merging architecture, nature and new technology. His projects follow a ""natural"" logic, referring to components originating in nature, as well as to environmental systems. A logic that connects nature with the transformations of urban spaces, social organizations, and the digital world."
