Spanish architect Elias Torres will present the next Black talk in Sydney on 27 July and Melbourne on 28 July.

Elias Torres and his partner Jose Antonio Martinez-Lapena are renowned in Spain for sensitive additions in and around historic buildings in order to ensure their viability in the 21st century.

One of their most recent projects the Forum 2004 Esplanade addresses all the current issues facing cities around the world – with sustainability at its core.

The Forum esplanade had to complete the end of an important Barcelona avenue and finally allow it to reach the sea. What Lapena Torres designed is an inspirational structure that combines on its roof a huge solar collector panel and makes a place for people by the sea.

It was described by the Mies van der Rohe Award jury as ‘One of the most extraordinary structures … based on the themes of cultural understanding, social justice and sustainable development.’
