Fran Silvestre participates in El Motor de la Arquitectura

On September 11, the first edition of El Motor de la Arquitectura took place in Madrid, a conference organized by Fearless Art Magazine in collaboration with Range Rover and Porcelanosa.

The event brought together architects, designers, technology brands, and representatives of the hospitality sector to reflect on the dialogue between architecture, automotive design, and sustainability.

Architect Fran Silvestre participated as a speaker in the panel titled “Architecture and Automotive: Icons of Style and Sustainability,” alongside Emilio Tuñón, Enrique Solís, and Carlota Perán. The conversation explored the link between architectural and automotive design, delving into how both worlds share values such as formal precision, energy efficiency, essential aesthetics, and a sense of permanence.

During the discussion, concepts such as clean geometry, visual sobriety, and functional elegance were examined as shared languages between architectural works and car design. Special emphasis was placed on how a house can engage in dialogue with its surroundings—and with the objects within it—through a coherent vision where form and function intertwine effortlessly.

Held at the Porcelanosa showroom in Madrid, the conference addressed topics such as urban planning, electric mobility, design, and hospitality, revisiting Le Corbusier’s idea of the house as a “machine for living.”

El Motor de la Arquitectura thus proposed a new cross-disciplinary perspective where architecture, automotive design, and conscious luxury come together to imagine the icons of the future.
