Anyone in the field of architecture and interior or product design interested in learning new ways to design spaces and furniture, whether first-year students or experienced professionals. This course is also perfect for anyone who loves Japanese culture and wood.
Requirements and materials
Basic notions of architecture and a desire to learn are needed to take this course. A working knowledge of 2D and 3D design programs like AutoCAD, Google SketchUp, and Adobe Photoshop will also be helpful, but not essential.
As for materials, you need a pencil, paper, a scale ruler, and, most importantly, an eraser so you can make mistakes and change your designs as many times as necessary. If you prefer to work digitally, a computer or an iPad with the 2D and 3D design programs of your choice are sufficient.

Architect Roman Izquierdo graduated from the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB) and began his professional career in the Japaneses studios Junya Ishigami and Kengo Kuma. In 2014, he founded his own studio in Barcelona: Roman Izquierdo Bouldstridge. The studio's style has a clear Japanese influence, characterized by warm architecture that blends nature, light, and time to create unique atmospheres. Beyond architecture, they carry out design projects in a range of fields, from urban planning to interior design and furniture.
They have received international recognition for their work at the International Design Awards (IDA) and the Rethinking the Future Awards. They were also finalists at the SBID awards (Society of British Interior Design) and the World Interiors News Awards, nominated for the Building of The Year award, and invited to participate in the 2021 Venice Biennale of Architecture exhibition.

The course is very interesting and inspiring.
It is a theoretical course not practical. It would be nice if he gave tips on how to build some of the structures like the stairs storage units
