Carme Pin\xf3s in Conversation with Maru Benavides. \nIn this podcast episode, architect Carme Pin\xf3s speaks with MARCH student Maru Benavides. Through their bilingual conversation, Pin\xf3s shares with us her love of simplicity and natural materials. She gives us a glimpse into her design philosophy that prioritizes human relations, closely considers context, and is spatially and programmatically generous toward the people. She also talks about how she works with the current market-driven building culture as a contemporary architect.\nPin\xf3s is the founder of Barcelona-based Estudio Carme Pin\xf3s. Her sharp approach to design, anchored by a constant focus on experimentation and research, has made her work garner worldwide recognition. This recording was conducted before Carme Pin\xf3s\u2019 lecture at the school on February 10, 2020.
