Isabel Lasala Hernandez
Isabel Lasala is an architect and landscape architect, Director of Lasala & Lasala Design Studio, an international award-winning practice with over twenty years of experience in residential, urban, commercial, institutional, and public projects.
Her practice-based research is focused on the possibilities emerging at the intersection of architecture and landscape architecture. Currently, Isabel is a PhD candidate examining cemetery futures, proposing the design of spaces where the seemingly incompatible activities of grief and play can coexist.
Isabel's work has been published in academic journals like Interstices (forthcoming), Trazos and IPO. In 2014, Ediciones FAU/UCV published her book Creating Places: Exalting and Overcoming the Architectural Object in the Work of Pablo Lasala, where she grounds her research on a meticulous examination of the work of her late father, whose archive was acquired by The Getty Research Foundation in LA, California in 2021.
Isabel has a comprehensive teaching record in design studios in the Schools of Design, Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Before joining MADA, Isabel had been teaching at RMIT and Melbourne Universities.
