Education and career
Born in 1971 in Seville, he graduated from the International University of Catalonia (ESARQ)[1] and started his architect career in 1996[2].
Recetas Urbanas
Recetas Urbanas is the Spanish for "Urban Prescriptions". The studio is known for its subversive questioning of the architectural practice and the city regulation. With the idea that architecture should be accessible to everybody, Recetas Urbanas' approach aims at letting people appropriate urban space.[2] Since its creation in 2003, the studio developed significant experience in self construction, material recycling and re-employment, and collective design.[3]
