Abstract

The Spanish Architect Juan Herreros has been a Guest Professor at institutions like the University of Princeton, the Institute of Technology of Illinois and the Architectural Association in London, among others. He is currently Professor at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid and Director of Columbia GSAPP Advanced Studios. His works have been awarded and displayed at individual and collective exhibitions in several institutions, amongst which stand out the MoMA (New York) and the biennials of Venice, Istanbul, Spain and Ibero-America. Estudio Herreros nowadays has projects in Spain, Norway, France, Morocco, Mexico, Colombia, Uruguay and Argentina.

Juan Herreros´s work merges, in a constant negotiation, the exercise of his professional practice, teaching and research, as it is evident in this interview, in which he stresses that work strategies are an important part of the design process, constituting subject-matter of the project.
