gómez+alvarez architects since 1991

The work we present to your review has been produced without

giving up our basic ideals. From the very beginning, and even against the main strand, we thought our academic work should be

centred on the students’ learning; our professional one should be supported by dignity; our ethic compromise should rely in

positive action. We also wanted to take care of our family unit. And we manage to simultaneously tackle all these work spheres

during these years.

Though it has not been planned, this personal position has shown us clear ways to drive our activity. And now, when looking back,

we guess this is our strongest value: We are involved in a different way of looking at architecture,

urban design and academics. Nowadays, this interaction is called gender approach to urbanism and architecture, topic we are

totally interested in. And according to the same thinking line, we also are interested in photograph as a tool for analysing and

writing (and reading) as a way to understand, amongst other things.

From this point of view, we understand our time as a whole where

work –paid and not paid- plays an important role since unexpected crosscuts are produced in all directions, enriching our

professional approach. We call it ‘work timeline’.

In this summary, we are going to highlight some aspects of our work but we would appreciate you to watch them regarding to the

whole context.

The core team is formed by:

Eva M. Álvarez Isidro, head architect Carlos J. Gómez Alfonso, head architect

José L. Higón Calvet, architect, collaborator

Ángel Pitarch, architect, collaborator Vicente Juárez Ródenas, technical architect, collaborator
