Art & Architecture: Common Ground. A Miguel Quismondo Hommage

Art & Architecture: Common Ground. A  Miguel Quismondo Hommage desconocido

The panelists will address the challenges faced by Spanish architects when working in the United States. The understanding of the architect's role in each country influences the process of creation, desing, and execution of an architectural project. What work does an architect do in Spain as opposed to the Unites States? Is there an instrisic relationship between art and architecture? How this relationship translated into the practice of architecture?

Born and raised in Spain, Miguel attended the Polytechnic School in Madrid, where he graduated as an Architect. A will to extend his understanding of architecture led him to travel to the United States, where he has carried out most of his career, first working for a corporate firm (Perkins+Will) and later collaborating with Alberto Campo Baeza in the project and construction of Olnick Spanu House.

Over the past decade he has worked for Olnick Spanu in several fields spanning Design, Construction and Management. Additionally, he had the opportunity to work with many international Artists to help them implement and install site specific projects in Garrison, NY.

During his more than two decades of professional experience in the fields of architecture construction and development, Miguel has also continued his education: he holds one Master’s degree in Real Estate Development from Columbia University, and another in Construction Management from NYU. He has also recently started PhD studies in architecture, focusing on the financial aspects of design and development. He has been published in la Biennale di Venezia, Architectural Record, A+U, and Casabella, among other magazines.
