Pedro Torrijos

Pedro Torrijos started telling stories because that's what he's always liked. What happens is that afterward, he studied two majors. One was music, which taught him what time was, and the other was architecture, which taught him what space was. He dedicated himself to being an architect until the brick crisis swept over half the world, including him.

Then he remembered what he liked to do when he was little and then when he was an adult: tell stories. And he counted them. First, he called a media outlet and told them that he wanted to collaborate however it was. And he started to write. Then he called another medium again and also told them that he wanted to collaborate. And they also said yes. And he wrote in that medium. And then they called him from two other media to collaborate. And he collaborated.

Essentially, he decided to tell his stories on a social network like nobody had done before: as if it were a television program. And they called him from a podcast production company. And then they called him from a publisher. And from a couple of cultural entities. His last work is the podcast "Cómo suena un edificio" in colaboration with ICO Fundation.

CARME PINÓS

Carme Pinós i Desplat graduated with a degree in architecture from the school of Architecture in Barcelona (ETSAB) in 1979. In the mid 1980s the architectural proposals she developed in partnership with Enric Miralles obtained recognition in several architectural competitions. In 1991 she set up her own studio and since then she has combined her activity as an architect with teaching as a guest professor at different universities such as the Graduate Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation de Columbia University (1999), the École Polytechnique Féderale of Lausanne (2001-02), the Graduate  School of Design of Harvard University (2003), the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio (2005-06) o la Universitá di Roma Tre (2007-08).

Her built work and projects have been exhibited at several galleries and museums. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris hold models of her projects in their permanent collections. Her work has been published in several monographs (Actar, 1998: Monacelli Press 2004; “Documentos de Arquitectura”, nº 60, 2006). In 2008 she received the National Prize for Architecture and Urban Space from the Catalan Government in recognition of her entire professional career.
