Juan Herreros
Juan Herreros and Jens Richter form estudioHerreros, an architectural practice with offices in Madrid, New York, and Mexico City, and professional and academic activity across four continents.
They have designed buildings such as the MUNCH Museum and the Trosten sauna in Oslo; the Caracol social housing complex promoted by Impsol in Sant Boi, Barcelona; the Santiago de Compostela High-Speed Rail Station; and the MALBA-Puertos art center in Argentina. Recent works include SOLO Contemporary in Madrid and the headquarters of the Adakar Foundation for Contemporary Art in Bilbao. They are currently designing the transformation of the 19th-century Bank of Spain building into an art museum and a rental housing development for young people in the Carabanchel district of Madrid.
Their projects have been featured in the monographs Critical Practice (TC Editions) and Type & Technology (AV), and exhibited in solo shows in Venice (Biennale 2012), Oslo (ROM Gallery), Barcelona (La Virreina), Madrid (CentroCentro), Mexico City (Franz Mayer Museum), Rio de Janeiro (Studio-X), and Bordeaux (arc en rêve), among others.
The studio’s work has received twelve awards from the Madrid Chamber of Architects, three FAD Barcelona Awards, the European Union Urbanism Prize, two NAN Awards, the A+ Career Prize, and several finalist nominations for the Mies van der Rohe, CSCAE, and City of Oslo distinctions. In 2022, the history of the MUNCH Museum project was compiled in Lambda Files, published by Spector Books.
