Ignacio Arizu is an architect and partner at Gina Barcelona Architects. He approaches architectural practice from a multidisciplinary perspective that integrates design, strategy, innovation, and the management of projects across different scales and levels of complexity, with particular attention to context, materiality, and construction detailing. From this perspective, he leads projects and the development of new opportunities and strategic relationships, particularly in the private sector, contributing to the firm's international growth.
Since 2013, he has combined professional practice with teaching at UIC Barcelona School of Architecture, as a lecturer in Urban Design and Architectural Design, connecting territorial and urban scales with architecture and detailing.
His career reflects an interest in connecting critical thinking, creativity, and emerging methodologies, exploring how technological evolution, including artificial intelligence, is transforming collaborative design processes and the broader practice of contemporary architecture.
Gina Barcelona Architects is an international architecture, urban design, and landscape practice bringing together the experience and talent of architects closely connected to Barcelona's urban transformation and its internationally recognized architectural culture.
Its work spans projects of different scales, programs, and complexities, from urban design and landscape to architecture and interior spaces. Each project begins with a careful understanding of place, its context and needs, and a commitment to the city, seeking precise responses that integrate functionality, sustainability, and spatial quality. An architecture in which materiality, technique, and construction detailing shape spaces designed to endure and transform their surroundings.
With extensive experience in both public and private projects, Gina combines expertise, sensitivity, and multidisciplinary collaboration, integrating emerging tools and methodologies throughout the design process to expand opportunities for exploration, always in service of what matters most: people, place, and architecture.
