“I believe in the power of Architecture to be both a physical narrator of history and to lead positive change for society and our planet. More than ever, our physical world has to create sustainable solutions that protect the intrinsic interaction between communities and local resources. My role is to showcase and cascade awareness of the unique and wonderful examples from which we can learn to do more with less.”

Noemi Blager – Architecure exhibition

Born and bred in Buenos Aires at a time of great political, economic and social upheaval, like most Argentines, Noemí developed a strong capacity to adapt to unforeseen circumstances — a flexibility that has informed and shaped her career to date.

     After qualifying as an architect at the University of Buenos Aires, she came to Europe to see and experience the architecture that she had studied. Eventually settling in Barcelona, she initially worked with Catalan practices on both public and private projects. Then, in the run-up to the 1992 Olympics she worked at the Olympic Village on the Hotel Arts complex, designed by SOM. Witnessing a city with such a strong local culture, evolve and adapt for this huge global event was also a personally transformative experience.

     After six years, she came to London, moving from architectural practice to the commissioning of architects for new business ventures.  In addition, she began advising the building and design industries on how to connect more effectively with the world of architecture.  

     From 2006 to 2008 she returned to architectural practice, working with Claudio Silvestrin, Rafael Viñoly and Sheppard Robson. One of her projects was an eco-resort in the north of Brazil, where Noemí discovered the legacy of Italo-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi (1914–1992). Inspired by the social dimension of Lina’s work, Noemí promptly embarked on mounting an exhibition to explore and express those values. 

     The Lina Bo Bardi Together exhibition, sponsored by Arper, opened at the British Council in London in 2012, and went on to tour internationally for the next four years to critical acclaim. This project triggered new opportunities for Noemí to create mutually beneficial synergies between architecture, culture and business. And that is the arena in which she continues, passionately.
