BIO

I graduated in Architecture by the Escola Tècnica Superior de Barcelona in 2014,  after spending one year at the Tokyo University of Arts (GEIDAI) in 2011-2012.

In 2015 I started building professional architecture models at the DGC (Dani Granados Corsellas) atelier in Barcelona. I liked better working with my hands than just sitting in front of the computer. After a while, the DGC atelier turned into TDX, with myself as a partner. We worked in projects with architecture studios like Josep Ferrando, Barozzi & Veiga, Baas or Maio (model for the Chicago Architecture Biennale) and a great number of individual clients.

In 2018 I worked for Buit Taller, where I kept building architecture models, but now using CNC  machines. I also took a course on architecture photography at the Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya.

Later on, in 2019, I immersed myself in the furniture manufacturing field at the atelier-store AmatoSole in Barcelona. Here, both wood and steel are designed/redesigned/restored/reused. I improved my technique with sanders, saws and other manual tools and learned to pay more attention to the specific characteristics of different types of wood. I started experimenting with welding and working with steel. 

I currently live in Aia, Gipuzkoa (Euskadi) and, in addition to taking care of two little kids, I build models, furniture and various kinds of objects, as well as some occasional architecture jobs. Besides my professional activity, I try to keep on experimenting with scale and materials.

I’ve learned everything I know from many people and through the persistent practice of the manual technique. I intend to engage in processes where abstraction, scale, materiality, materials, technique, representation, architecture and object take shape into a tangible outcome. In the creative process, I like to think that it is always possible to experiment on the basis of things that we have already done in different ways in the past. To me, models in particular are not merely objects of architectural representation, but also inquiries of abstraction, figuration and the balances between the two.
