For almost ten years I have been a partner and creative director at a Spanish multidisciplinary firm specialising in civil engineering, architecture, landscape and urban design. My challenging role as Creative Director was to lead the creative process to produce innovative design solutions in these fields. We developed projects in Spain, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, Colombia and other countries. I enjoyed this work because of the range of scale – from furniture design to large scale projects, and my experience in different design fields enables me to develop creative projects of great variety and need.
NEW SEAFRONT BOULEVARD BATUMI, GEORGIA
One of my favourite urban and landscape design projects developed under my direction was the New Seafront Boulevard, Batumi, Georgia. This project was the beginning of a long and successful collaboration with the Government of Georgia. The city expected the creation of a modern space that would act as a development engine for international tourism on the Black Sea coast. The new seafront boulevard has attracted international hotel chains, concerts, art festivals and events. It has become a really active place. The project was awarded the International Architecture Award 2012 by The Chicago Athenaeum – The European Centre for Architecture.
