October 3, 2013 Award-Winning Spanish Architect Iñaqui Carnicero to Lecture

The Robert B. Church III Memorial Lecture Series will welcome Spanish architect Iñaqui Carnicero on Friday, October 11 at 5:30 p.m. in McCarty Auditorium of the Art + Architecture Building, 1715 Volunteer Blvd. A webcast of the event will occur at https://tiny.utk.edu/church-lectures.

Carnicero’s lecture, “Second Hand Spaces” will examine his projects, showcasing the relationship between architecture and the economical context. He will discuss the two extreme architectural situations seen in Madrid over the past two decades – new infrastructures and public buildings followed by the re-examination of existing structures, as inspired by economic crisis.

The lecture is co-presented by the SPAIN arts & culture, the official Spanish cultural program in the U.S., and the Spain-USA Foundation, which have partnered with the College of Architecture and Design to bring celebrated Spanish architects and designers to the the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and its communities.
