Patricia Reus. Murcia, 1975. Phd. Architect
I founded the office Blancafort-Reus arquitectura with Jaume Blancafort in 2002.
Since then we develop architectural projects that cover a wide range of formats and fields; From the design of furniture or an exhibition to the spatial conception of an infrastructure such as an airport terminal; Through public housing or urban plans. If we have to look for a common ground in all this, it is the enthusiasm, the tireless work and the most tenacious self-demanding.
We have won several awards as the AR+D Award for Emerging Architecture, the AJAC prize for young architects and we have been finalist for the Nacional architectural award. The projects and buildings made by the office has been shown at international exhibitions such as the architectural biennals of Quito, Spain, Buenos Aires and Venice.
Our work is accompanied with teaching experience, research and cultural activities. We’re teachers at the School of Architecture in Cartagena. We are working on different research programs, one of those were awared with the Urbincasa_Upct award for eco-innovation and development of sustainable bussines activities.
I collaborate with the Barcelona School of Architecture. I am part of the women final project degree group (with Anna Ramos and Sandra Betastrén) “learning from reality” leaded by Zaida Muxí. There the proposals are a critical exercise in which solving a building is one of the stages but not the only one. Therefore, determining the problem, reseaching previous references, finding the right place and program are all questions of equal importance. Among the projects have real cooperation experiences in Asia, Africa and Latin America and many restoration examples.
In 2016 I finished my PhD about the relationship between form and dayly live from the 30's urban ideas to the present.

Resotoration of a house in Barcelona
They asked us to make a home from this house ... and for them that meant being around the stove, doing homework while kneading the bread, chatting while preparing dinner ...
We wanted to do that, of course, and at the same time, we wanted to bring in a new urban condition in the street, before a little gray and saddened.
It seems that we succeed...
