Barcelona, Spain
Atienza Maure is a Madrid- and Barcelona-based architecture studio founded in 2018 by Alonso Atienza Sánchez and Miguel Ángel Maure Blesa, both graduates of ETSAM with a formative year at EPFL. Their commissions range from urban housing blocks to barn conversions and cultural fit-outs.
Projects start with a close reading of place—climate, craft, and the improvised logic of local building sites—then fold in contemporary assemblies. That method is evident in Sardenya 356, where motor-operated pine shutters turn a Barcelona façade into a “vernacular climatic device,” and in El Priorato, a 16th-century ruin recast with daylight-catching concrete arches. The studio’s work on Sardenya 356 earned the AJAC XIII Young Architects Prize for best built project 2020-22.
Operating between two workshops and regular university teaching posts, Atienza Maure keeps “one foot tied to the land,” treating the architect—as Loos and Coderch once suggested—like a mason who happens to have studied Latin.
