Smart & Green Design is a Madrid-based architecture studio founded by architect Fernando Muñoz in 2017. The studio is made up of a team specialising in eco-design and environmental auditing of exhibitions, museums, and temporary projects.
Fernando Muñoz is an architect from the ETSAM (Spanish Institute of Architecture) in Madrid in 2002 and a Master's degree in Sustainable Construction from Oxford Brookes University in 2014. He is currently a project lecturer on the Interior Design degree program at the IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) in Madrid.
He has developed an analysis and design methodology based on environmental impact reduction, which was selected as a finalist in the 2015 research awards convened by The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). He develops protocols for implementing environmental policies in museums and exhibition centers by regulations developed by the international cultural industry, the aim of which is to help governments meet their commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Smart & Green Design is currently focused on the ongoing process of change in the general public's perception of art and culture, designing hybrid "cultural experiences" that combine brand experience with the world of art and culture, designed to appeal to all audiences.
This search for hybrid spaces through the use of technological resources and digital discursive structures has become the hallmark of their projects, leading them to win the competition for the Spanish Pavilion at the Osaka 2025 World Expo. They are also responsible for the "elBulli1846" Museum, a comprehensive museographic project in the heart of Cap de Creus Natural Park, Girona.
Of particular note is the renovation of Seville's iconic Plaza de las Setas, where a "mobile landscape" has been designed to rethink the functions of public space in our cities.
