About myself

Architect, lecturer and fab lab director

I'm an a spanish architect, graduated 13 years ago in ETSAM Madrid and currently living and working between my hometown, Córdoba and Limerick, Ireland.

I founded a Fab Lab in Limerick city 4 years ago as part of the School of Architecture, University of Limerick, I've been lecturing there since 2007. The fab lab started with only €2000 and three self buid machines.

In Córdoba, I run a small practice called Colaborativa.eu, we build all sort of design and technology projects and we are actively involved in the city's creative and cultural scene.

Just a month ago I started a design based PhD on self-build and digital fabrication, I'm hoping that Fabacademy will help me to prototype and test ideas about this research.
