This past Tuesday October 13th, our Fall 2015 students had the opportunity to visit the newest offices of b720 Fermín Váquez architects as part of the Seminar Lecture Series visits lead by Mercé Berengué.
Fermín Váquez , principal architect, presented two projects that represent the office’s analysis and design process but also translate into the main characteristics that define the architect’s role through the different stages of a project. Client’s relationships, programmatic needs, first design concepts and ideas, budgeting decisions, structural design and construction process, where some of the stages described for both the Les Encants Market project in Barcelona, and the Spanish National Pavilion in the current Expo Milan 2015.
