Resume
It is our great pleasure to have architect Pere Buil, from Barcelona, with us today. I will start by asking about your academic background. I know that you also studied in Portugal.
I studied at Universidad Politecnica in Barcelona. I was not a very good student. I was always involved in other matters, whether politics or culture. Those were my interests. Besides, not many teachers were interesting. I went to Lisbon for Erasmus (architect Manuel Aires Mateus was the lecturer of Project at the Faculty of Architecture in the University of Lisbon) and I ended up staying in Lisbon. I complete my final project in Barcelona, just because I had to in order to finish my degree. I did not do a master’s or a PhD, I started working right away and completely devoted myself to that.
