Espinosa Pérez, Enrique

Enrique Espinosa Pérez graduated as an Architect from the Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM) in 2009. He has been an Associate Professor of Architectural Design within CoLaboratorio since 2015 and is currently a PhD candidate, researcher, and holder of a Diploma of Advanced Studies (DEA). He was co-founder and co-director of PKMN architectures (2006–2016). Since 2016, he has directed Eeestudio, collaborating through networks with other professionals and institutions, while conducting research through Metamethodologies on collaborative learning and production processes, currently developing the doctoral thesis Co-learning / Co-doing.

Eeestudio expands upon the experience and lines of work developed by PKMN around objects, spaces, identities, cities, mediation, and intergenerationality through the concept of the Studio—a figure parallel to the laboratory that mediates, synthesizes, and operates between ideas and reality, increasingly doing so through open and connected knowledge platforms and networks. One of the studio’s core areas of work is the collaborative study and construction of cultural, civic, spatial, and technical catalogues and assemblages.

As a researcher, he has served as guest editor of Arquitectura COAM magazine (Issue 375) and co-editor of the books A Fine Line, Argument #01: Sampling Contexts, Collaborative Design Tactics (Tácticas Proyectuales Colaborativas), and Open City: Rethinking the Post-Industrial City.

Among his most notable projects are Teruelzilla (selected for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2013 and finalist for the Icon Awards), All I Own House (part of the Spanish Pavilion awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016), Analogic Smart Cities, Home Back Home, Ciudad Crea Ciudad, Alphabet Cities, and Territorio Moyano.

In 2014, together with PKMN, he received the Arquia Próxima Award for Young Spanish Architecture (2012–2013).
