Marina Cella
Senior architect with extensive experience in residential architecture, specialized in the design of single-family homes and apartments. She has built a solid career in leadership and management of international projects while working at the architecture firm External Reference. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), focused on energy and the environment.
In parallel, she has promoted social action and urban ecology projects such as Barcelona Verde. Through her initiative Plug in Nature, she explores imaginary spaces created with artificial intelligence, where nature and architecture coexist harmoniously. Her research on biomaterials is based on a clear premise: there is no waste; everything can become a nutrient.
In addition, she teaches sustainability and biomaterials in our bachelor's and master’s programs.
