Rooted in the experience of nature and shaped by his deeply personal connection to the insular life of the Canary Islands, this system of thought reflects both a continuous search for meaning and a profound emotional bond with the so-called "Fortunate Islands."It is part of a broader discourse on the sustainable humanization of natural environments. At its core lies the idea of a "life machine"—an architectural entity with zero energy consumption—that seeks to prove how architecture can foster life by harnessing natural forces and sculpting form, without relying on artificial energy sources.After the lecture, there will be a round table discussion on the topic with Fernando Menis, Andy Shaw, Alina Valcarce and Juan Rodan followed by Q&amp;A and socialising, networking.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/dba365d0-2cef-11f0-b2d1-3bf6dcd3efec-rimg-w740-h740-dc020202-gmir.jpg Bios:Fernando Menis.Fernando Menis, a renowned Spanish architect from Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
