Isabel Collado

Isabel Collado is an architect registered in Spain and United Kingdom. She is a chartered member of RIBA. She studied Architecture at the Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM). She obtained the Diploma in Advanced Studies (DEA) in 2010 and she is currently finalizing her PhD dissertation ‘Towards Weightless Architecture’. She is a passionate teacher and scholar that has lectured at prestigious universities such as the Architectural Association in London, ETSAM, and IE University among others. She is the cofounder of DOSIS, an office that has been conceived as a laboratory of creative processes that is committed to pushing the boundaries of the built environment with innovative architectural solutions. In each of their projects, the design strategies and solutions are a reflection of design research, using practice as an experimentation platform in which architecture navigates a wide scope of design interests that transcend basic pragmatic requirements to achieve extraordinary results. Each project is undertaken as an opportunity to explore creative design methodologies, strategies and solutions, always driving their attention towards the feasibility of building technology, structural systems and sustainable environmental strategies.
