Interview with Jose Angel Cicero
Design Legend Interview
24 October 2016
I am architect and cultural promoter graduated in Barcelona, Spain. I currently combine my work in architecture with international design projects and teaching at university.
I'm interested in the aesthetics of the functional in the XXI century and the contribution of art in the design of all the things
I always knew that my life would be linked to the design at all scales
I am very interested in the workplace and housing
to work without to copy anybody
A great designer changed our world and their work becomes part of our lives
functional, aesthetic and overall psychological aspects
Invest in good design means finding new ways of expression, communication and selling, finally, it helps us to present ourselves in society at the forefront of sensitive knowledge
My own home
A portable building
As I said, work from your ideas without copying anyone
Study, work and be open to do everything in life
I never think about what could it be and was not
Order, emotion and art
Many times we create the obstacles when we don´t clearly identify our goals
In exhibitions, shops, in every place ...
An exhibition of Spanish design in Lima, Perú
Designing and building a prototype of an smart facade in an existing building
Surprise and impress
The design makes us find new ways to solve our needs and contributes to the development of society
Architecture and energy
"Santander world" and their sculptures... thousands of people were seeking photographed with them
Sustainable design and energy efficient
Thinking of the objectives, goals...
To create is not to copy
Are the designers the ones that, with our work, we influence others and create trend
Technology is part of our lives at all times is our working tool
Autocad, Cinema 4D, Adobe Suite...
To communicate a desired psychological perception
I think about of the person who designed it and for what did it
I dont believe in co-design pretty much ...
My partner
Forcing me to think from areas of my brain different from those that already use
Everyone likes the recognition, I see no drawbacks
Black, Segovia, pasta, all seasons, planes and W hotels
I am among those who need a good coffee to start the day... and, with that and good music is usually enough to turn on my brain
I guess ... I spent the day drawing futuristic cities
we face the overpopulation of the planet and the scarcity of resources ... we will live in cities – states, that are likely to be buildings.
Always try to keep the curiosity to learn of all things and don´t prejudge
