TESTIMONIALS
“Isabel is a great organizer in the field of semiotics and a great defender of dynamic semiotics. Her never flailing passional work for progress in the development of space semiotics, urbano-architectural semiotics, and catastrophe-based modelling is unique. And she is such a nice person, additionally.”
Per Aage Brandt, Case Western Reserve University
"Je recommande Isabel pour son engagement très professionnel dans des projets en relation avec la ville durable et pour le sens qu'ils apportent aux citoyens qui y vivent au quotidien. J'apprécie particulièrement le souci qu'elle a de contribuer à construire de manière transdisciplinaire des réponses aux défis sociaux, environnementaux et économiques actuels."
