Iñigo Palazón (Madrid, 1992) is one of the co-founders of DIIR and an architect by the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid (ETSAM). In 2015 and 2016 he complemented his academic training with exchanges at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and Tongji University in Shanghai. After gaining work experience in those countries, he's worked in recognized national studios such as José María Sánchez García (2016) or FRPO Rodríguez Oriol Arquitectos (2017-2018). At the end of 2018 he founded DIIR together with David Meana, Ignacio Navarro and Ricardo Fernández. Throughout these years, he has given lectures and workshops at international universities such as Harvard GSD or ESAM in Paris and national universities such as ETSAM, CEU, IED or IE.
DIIR is a Madrid-based architecture firm with international projection, founded in 2018 by David Meana, Ignacio Navarro, Iñigo Palazón and Ricardo Fernández, with all of them being architects by the School of Architecture of Madrid (ETSAM). Their projects, marked by a strong strategic and conceptual positioning, have received national and international recognition. The confrontation with projects of multiple scales has allowed them to develop a practice that explores infinite ways to achieve singularity through sensitivity and rigor. The various public projects won at the beginning of his career - some of them currently under construction - are combined with private commissions of all kinds. The achievement of this variety of works has allowed the studio to be awarded by the COAM as an emerging studio in several consecutive years, or by media such as AD as one of the young studios with the greatest projection.
