Profile
An architecture apprentice, who, after spending his entire life in Seville, decided to change his mind, moving away to experiment in different styles of art and architecture.
The possibility of acquiring knowledge from people from all over the world is what motivated this youngster.
Aged 25, he knows he still has a lot to learn, but also feels that he has a lot to show and offer from the experience and knowledge that he has already acquired.
During his student life, he developed work on lots of architectural projects, urban proposals and constructive researches, as you can see on his website.
His architectural studies, both in Spain and in Belgium, have given him a diverse mix of architectural fluxes that have clearly influenced his way of thinking and development of architecture and design. He finally graduated in September 2014.
After a period working as technical surveyor on a famous civil works company with international projects all over the world, he continued is architectural learning abroad. First, coming back to Belgium for a practice, and then taking a step forward joining one of the office with more projection in The Netherlands as "MoederscheimMoonen architects".
Actually he is part of the Architecture department, where he works as well in competitions as in construction developements of buildings under construction.
Aside from architecture, he enjoys spending time travelling, studying photography and watching world cinema.
