Architect / Design Professor / College Researcher

As an architect with more than 25 years of experience, I have always had my own studio. I have designed ambitious formal and technical architectures. I have directed their works with detail and respect to the times and budgets. Architecture is my passion.I learn and grow every day, I get excited and challenge myself to do more with less.  For me there are no small architectures and I always want to exceed the expectations of my promoters.

Today I can have coffee with all my promoters (except one).

Since October 2000, I have been a professor of product design at the University of Extremadura. To be able to explain to «know how how to do» I have had to understand it very well. Finally, I have fallen in love with the discipline of industrial design and I have also developed it professionally. I have enjoyed the confidence of many of my students to work with the strength and dangers of different. Their respect has been a huge payment for me.

If I had to redesign a human being I would put a pencil in place of his index finger (and an eraser for his thumb)

I knew a few years ago that the lineal industry will not survive, I understood the finite nature of resources. This intuition has made me approach Ecodesign from research and the parametric. Measuring efficiency and sustainability is obsessive. How different is the reality under these lights. At the moment I lead a group of university researchers within the partnership in the international project of Ecodesign DEGREN.
