BIO

Adrián Martínez (Seville, 1989) studied architecture at ETSA Seville and ENSA Paris La Villette, graduating from the University of Seville in 2014. His final degree project received the highest distinction having been awarded numerous first prizes. One of the most remarkable was the participation in the Spanish Pavilion at the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale 2018. During his last year of studies, he worked at the MGM-Morales de Giles office in Seville. As an architect he collaborated in the office of Rafael Moneo (Premio Pritzker 1996) en Madrid desde 2015 hasta 2018, participando activamente en proyectos de diferentes escalas y programas, desde la fase de conceptualización hasta los detalles constructivos de obra. En paralelo a la práctica profesional mantiene una enérgica labor como investigador, siendo miembro del Departamento de Historia, Teoría y Composición Arquitectónica de la ETSA Sevilla desde 2018, donde combina su actividad docente con el desarrollo de su doctorado. Recientemente, ha sido visiting PhD en la Harvard University Graduate School of Design y en el Politecnico di Milano.

BIO

Guillermo Avanzini (Bilbao, 1989) studied architecture at ETSA Madrid and ENSA Paris La Villette graduating from UPM in 2015. Still as a student he started to collaborate along with several Madrid based practices such as FRPO, Selgas Cano -where he worked on the proposal for a pavilion for the Expo 2015 in Milan- or Moneo Brock. In 2016 he took part in the competition for the “Nou Camp Nou” in Barcelona as a member of the IDOM-BIG-BAAS team. In 2018 he started a phase in Bilbao where he, with other local architects as well as on his own, has worked on some residential projects of different scales: colective dwelling developments, single family houses, refurbishment, etc. This career path has given him a holistic view of architecture, providing him with a constructive aproach since early stages of the project.
