IGNACIO GUBIANAS BLANES

My name is Ignacio Gubianas Blanes, I study third year of Landscape Architecture in the Edinburgh College of Art at the University of Edinburgh Scotland. This journey I decided to undertake three years ago has changed my life and I have pushed myself more than ever, while constantly going out of my comfort zone to try new ideas, new methods and having new experiences.

 

I am fascinated by the concept of regeneration. I find the dynamics and changes of both nature and humans very appealing.  Working with these, adding new layers and enhancing the potential of a site really excites me. But above all I believe in creating spaces for people. Spaces that challenge the car culture, that bring people closer to nature and that break social and economic boundaries. I find thrilling the fact that every decision taken from the biggest masterplan to the smallest construction drawing will have an impact on this.

​

I am inspired by designs who adopt the dynamics and timescales of people and nature, as well as those that innovate and break boundaries in place making. I believe constantly questioning ourselves and our knowledge, experimenting and breaking our comfort zone is the only way forward.
