Nini Andrade Silva
Atelier Nini Andrade Silva, President & Founder, Special Guest GIS Budapest 2016 edition
GIS International Interior Architecture and Design Expo Conference is the right place to meet architecture and design community to celebrate learn, exchange and be inspired! At GIS we have very interesting talks about architecture and Interior Design and start to see where we’re going to be in the future. It’s that dialogue face to face, with people that are doing amazing things that makes GIS one of the most important events that happens in architecture each year. GIS is part of my heart since the Bucharest’s edition and I really believe that this amazing experience in Budapest will blow your mind.
Anja Dirks
President of ECIA – The European Council of Interior Architects, Guest of Honour Budapest 2016 edition
At GIS Budapest I will talk about my experience and belief in the existence of ECIA, the history and future of the organization and the benefits for the profession of having such an organization. Included in the lecture is her vision on the field of interior architecture and what it can mean for the society. With a head up for the future.ECIA is very interested and willing to learn more about the profession and the organizations in Eastern Europe. And to have in that perspective a more intensive relation. Therefore it would be great to meet during and after the lecture some organizations and professionals.
Ferenc MAKOVÉNYI
Member of the Board of the Chamber of Hungarian Architects
The Chamber of Hungarian Architects is glad that the international expo conferences are here in our city, that GIS International Interior Architecture and Interior Design Expo Conference will be organized in Budapest.
In 2015 we have started the cooperation for INGLASS, that was the highest professional gathering for architects dealing with material glass. We support all professional education and conference which are in favor of our members. This conferences are an opportunity for every registered architect.
Arch. Șerban Țigănaș
President of the Order of Architects of Romania, Guest of Honour GIS Budapest 2016 edition
At GIS Bucharest we have two full days of the conference,it seemed like the time expands due to the consistency of the intelligence and parallel activities. It is a genuine marathon. I am very glad to attend GIS Budapest 2016 edition and happy to meet the architects from this community and share ideas.
Arch. Ryszard Gruda
President the Chamber of Architects of the Republic of Poland (IARP)
The GIS conference is a valuable conference through the selection of its speakers. In Poland the conference was organized on 22-23rd February 2016 under the Honorary Patronage of the Chamber of Polish Architects. Rarely do we have such collaborations because we have our own rules, our own regulations. We do not support all the architecture meetings. We carefully select the events which will be under our patronage. For us, architects, GIS represents a very important meeting and what pleasantly surprised me was the fact that the young generations of architects are interested in this kind of event. I recommend this event to architects.
Arch. Makoto Nakayama
Nakayama Architects, Japan
I think the GIS conference is very interesting because it allows you to know each kind of thinking. We don’t need to make something universal, every architect must be very individual and it’s very important to know each other.
Colin Ball
BDP- Building Design Partnership Ltd
I think that it is important for international architects and designers to come together on a platform like GIS. We’re all facing the same issues but the issues are slightly different and the more we communicate, the more we’re able to keep quality going everywhere that we’re working. Also, different disciplines need to speak more because we don’t necessarily understand what’s happening in each others industry and again, the more we communicate the better we’re all informed, really.
I’m a central member of the International Association Lighting Designers which are headquartered in Chicago and we keep a very close eye on independent lighting design. We keep lists and we monitor what’s happening in each country. If there’s no independent lighting designers the lighting design is being done by manufacturers and at the end of the day we wonder, for example, why are there so many light fittings in this ceiling? Because they’re selling products.
Arch. Rosa Clotet
Llongueras Clotet Architects, Spain
GIS conference and the talks about architecture and interior design are very interesting because you can share knowledge between different countries and different ways of projecting architecture. This is without a doubt a benefit for us architects and for our work. For me, the experience of attending GIS Krakow was very useful for my work to see very different kind of projects from lighting projects to big projects to small and sensitive projects. I look forward to the next GIS event that is organized in Budapest.

The environmental design project for Sant Joan de Déu Children’s Hospital in Barcelona is the last layer of the architectural renovation of this center. The project has been designed to coexist with the preexisting architecture throughout animals hidden in the forms of the building. Its main achievement is making a space confortable and kind for children, but also, becoming a fully recognizable visual identity for this space. This project passes through the limits of disciplines and gathers environmental graphics, interior design, wayfinding and industrial design in order to generate a unique visual system.
