Profile
Josep Lluís Mateo
Josep Lluís Mateo was born in 1949 on April 23rd in Barcelona.
Since qualifying as an architect in 1974 (ETSAB) and gaining his doctorate (cum laude) from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Polytechnic University of Catalonia) in 1994, Josep Lluís Mateo has always combined professional and academic activity. Since 2008, he has been the President of the Board of Directors of the BIArch (Barcelona Institute of Architecture) and, since 2002, Pro¬fessor of Architecture and Projects at the ETH-Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich). He has been a lecturer at numerous universities, and lectured and taught at the world’s foremost institutions, including Princeton, Columbia University in New York, the Harvard Graduate School of Design, ABK Stuttgart, UP8 Paris, OAF Oslo and ITESM Mexico. He has also been Visiting Scholar at the Jean P. Getty Center (Los Angeles, USA).
With each of his projects, Josep Lluís Mateo seeks to connect the practice of construction (with particular emphasis on all the pragmatic aspects of the profession) with research and development in both intellectual and programmatic terms. He works in the area that brings together the sphere of ideas with the physical world of reality.
Outstanding works marking his career include the head office of the Bundesbank in Chemnitz (1996, Germany), the construction of 30 housing units in Borneo (2000, Holland) and his intervention in the Barcelona Forum 2004 with the CCIB, Barcelona International Convention Centre, the 5-star AC hotel and the CZF office block. Josep Lluís Mateo developed the new branch image and layout for Banco Sabadell (2004), remodelled the bank’s historical head office (2006) and designed the entrance and main branch of its emblematic office block in Barcelona (2007-2010). His recent work includes the design of Largo da Devesa square in Castelo Branco (2006, Portugal), Sant Jordi Hall of Residence (2006, Barcelona) and the office building for WTC Almeda Park in Cornellà (2006, Barcelona).And the most recently, the office Building “The Factory” in Boulogne-Bilancourt (Paris), The new headquarters for PGGM in Zeist (Holland) and The Film Theatre of Catalonia in Barcelona
Josep Lluís Mateo’s projects have formed part of group exhibitions on several occasions, as a result of the practice’s international influence. Recently, the New York’s MoMA devoted a space in the exhibition “Spain: On Site” to the apartment building in Valencia for the Sociopolis Project (2006). In 2009, the Pavillon de l’Arsénal in Paris included the current Boulogne-Billancourt project in its permanent exhibition “Paris, visite guidée” and Barcelona’s AC hotel in the show “The Invention of the European Tower”.
