Royal Danish Academy (PhD Carmen García Sánchez)

Carmen García Sánchez carries out her individual research project Nature-In, “New Sustainable Nature-Inclusive Architectural Devices for the Transformation of our Interior Dwelling Space: through Selected Case Studies” at the Royal Danish Academy - Architecture, Design, Conservation. The research gains knowledge from our architectural heritage - in the form of exemplary postwar-Danish and traditional-Japanese buildings that contribute via rich multi-sensory stimulation to the connecting of their interior space with the surrounding nature - to inform us of a sustainable contemporary interior design practice. Carmen García Sánchez develops this through diverse design disciplines, Architectural Interior, Landscape, and Biophilic Design approaches with a focus on linking architectural research to future practice. The main aim is to enhance the health and well-being of communities through daily interaction with Nature in urban areas of the future.
