TUÑÓN ARQUITECTOS

see also Mansilla + Tuñón Arquitectos and Tuñón y Albornoz Arquitectos

TUÑÓN ARCHITECTS is a Madrid-based office that originated in 2012 as a natural transition from Mansilla+Tuñón Architects. It concerns itself with the contemplations that result from the confrontation of theoretical and academic practice with the design and building activity.

Emilio Tuñón (1959) is an architect by the E.T.S.A.M (1981), Ph.D (2000) and Chair Professor of the Architectural Design Department in Madrid’s School of Architecture. He has been awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in Fine Arts by the Spanish Ministry of Culture in 2014, the Mies van der Rohe Award in 2007, the Contemporary Architecture European Union Award in 2003 as well as the FAD award in 2001, 2007 and 2011. In 2018 Emilio Tuñón was elected a RIBA International Fellow by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Emilio Tuñón currently combines his work as an architect with his academic career as a Chair Professor of the Architectural Design Department in the E.T.S.A.M. Additionally, he has taught as a guest professor at several other universities, including at Princeton University School of Architecture (spring of 2008, 2009 and 2010), Harvard Graduate School of Design (spring of 2006), Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (spring of 2005), Barcelona International Architecture School (2001-2002), Frankfurt Städelschule (1997-1998), Architecture San Pablo CEU Foundation (2000-2001), Barcelona Architecture School (1999-2000), New Puerto Rico Architecture School (summer of 2000) and Navarra Architecture School (spring of 1999 and 2011).
