Juan Herreros, Jens Richter. Estudio Herreros

estudioHerreros. In 2014, its Founding Partner Juan Herreros transformed Herreros Arquitectos into Estudio Herreros with the intention of opening up its practice to a partnership based configuration with which an international agenda can be approached while building on a solid national reputation. The first architect to become a partner is Jens Richter, who was Director of the firm after 10 years of collaboration with Juan Herreros.

Estudio Herreros is a Madrid-based architecture practice operating worldwide, employing about 20 architects from different nationalities, that has important achievements in the art world such as the Edward Munch Museum in Oslo, currently under construction, the re-qualification of the exhibition areas of the Reina Sofía Museum, the contemporary art space SOLO in Madrid and a number of designs for art fairs, galleries, exhibitions, or artist studios such as Luis Gordillo's.

The list of significant projects of estudioHerreros includes the intermodal station of Santiago, the Ágora-Bogotá event center in Colombia and the Tacubaya Strategic Plan in Mexico, along with achievements in Spain, Korea, Panama, Uruguay, France, Morocco, etc.

Mariona Benedito y Martí Sanz. MIM-A

MIM-A is an architecture studio founded by the architects Mariona Benedito and Martí Sanz. The studio understands each project as a unique opportunity to get the best out of the given circumstances, but at the same time and across the board, it is interested in ensuring that all projects are built with systems or relationships that articulate the whole and that, simultaneously, are capable of attend to the particularities, are built with rigorous and coherent construction strategies and adopt, as far as possible, measures that respect the environment, both passive and active.

They understand the practice in an open way and collaborate with other professional firms, as well as with members of other disciplines to achieve new challenges and expand knowledge. In the same sense, the members of MIM-A also participate in teaching and architectural research in different universities and workshops.

They have won awards such as the 2020 FAD Architecture Award "Edificio Caracol". FAD Award 2015. Ephemeral "Tears of Santa Eulalia". Selected FAD Awards 2012 Architecture «IES Pere IV». Selected 7th European Landscape Biennial "Can Caralleu".
