Eva Prats, Professor
Eva Prats graduated from the School of Architecture of Barcelona (U.P.C.), in 1992 and obtained her Doctorate Cum Laude by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology RMIT, 2019.
After a long experience at Enric Miralles office, in 1998 she established in Barcelona the Studio Flores & Prats, with partner Ricardo Flores, which combines design and constructive practice with an intense academic activity. Together they developed a career where research is always linked to the responsibility to make and build, giving importance to the possibilities of open interpretations and critical views that the built work reveals as part of this research process.
Their projects investigate fields such as rehabilitation and reuse of abandoned or ruined constructions, social housing and its capacity to build community, or urban public spaces with the participation of neighbors.
Eva Prats is Associated Professor at the School of Architecture of Barcelona (ETSAB) since 2002. She was a Visiting Professor at ETH Zurich from 2019 to 2021, and Professor of Architecture and Urban Planning at the RMIT Campus in Barcelona from 2014 to 2022.
She has lectured, and run academic design workshops in the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Austria, Lebanon, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Australia, Argentina, Mexico… She has been guest lecturer at Arizona State University in Phoenix (Spring 2000), and directed the International Guest Project Workshop at ETSAB together with Enric Miralles (1998), John Hejduk (1999), Juan Navarro Baldeweg (2000), Cedric Price (2001) and Clorindo Testa (2002).
