Founding Partner & Principal Architect at Barozzi Veiga
Founded in Barcelona in 2004, Barozzi Veiga is a globally acclaimed architectural practice whose highest career distinction is receiving the Premio Presidente della Repubblica in 2023, the highest institutional recognition of the Italian Republic. Specializing in high-profile cultural, civic, and educational buildings, the office has built an international portfolio of landmark projects characterized by their “sentimental monumentality,” including the Mies van der Rohe Award-winning Szczecin Philharmonic Hall, the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur, the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts Lausanne, and an upcoming masterplan to reconfigure the Art Institute of Chicago. Their work, which seamlessly blends striking geometric purity with specific historical contexts, has been celebrated with prestigious accolades such as the RIBA Award for International Excellence and the Grand Prix Erich Mendelsohn Award, while their architectural drawings and models have been enshrined in the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris since 2019.
