Lecture's IaaC - IaaC Lecture Series 2008 > Jose Angel Ferrer

It has been 15 years since the creation of FERRER Architects. Its founder, José Angel Ferrer, born in Almería, Spain in 1966, graduated from the University of Sevilla School of Architecture in 1993. Having graduated an architect, he opened a studio in Almería, where he proceeded to carry out numerous projects for housing and other facilities, mainly in Andalusia, but both in and out of Spain as well. His interest and dedication to architecture are manifested in the form of numerous articles he has had published in the press and magazines; as well as in his participation as a professor and speaker in courses, university master’s programmes and conferences. Mr. Ferrer also belongs to several important associations and foundations for the promotion of architecture, in which he has even held office; as was the case of his tenure as Secretary for the Architects Association of Almería. Presently, he is finishing his doctorate’s thesis on the museums of Rafael Moneo. Standing out among Mr. Ferrer’s most recent works are: the Sports Hall for the XXV Mediterranean Games in 2005, which held the rhythmic gymnastics and volleyball competitions during those games; the buildings for Andalusian Radio and Television (RTVA) in the cities of Almería, Granada and Cádiz; the restoration of “the largest Spanish Civil War Shelters”; secondary school buildings; social centres and, most recently of all, the restoration of an important part of Almería’s cultural heritage – the mineral pier, or so-called “Cable Inglés”. All of the aforementioned projects were first prize winners in competitions.
