Best architecture firms in Spain [2021 update]

Here we present our best architecture firms in Spain list, architectural practices already known worldwide or just emerging.

Spain is recognized throughout the history as having many visionary architects. Probably due to its historical and geographical diversity, Spanish architecture has drawn from a lot of influences. Spanish architecture started to take shape in parallel with other architectures around the Mediterranean and others from Northern Europe. In the late '20s the foundation of GATCPAC in Barcelona marked the first beginning of the Spanish modernist era.

Only the death of Franco and the return of democracy brought a new wave of architectural optimism to Spain in the late 1970s and 1980s. During the '90s Barcelona Olympics and the World's Fair in Seville, further bolstered Spain's reputation on the international stage.

Spanish architecture is experiencing a revolution and Spanish architects like Rafael Moneo, Carlos Ferrater, Ricardo Bofill as well as many others have gained worldwide renown but there are many interesting new comers architecture firms that are taking the stage.

As you can see on the map, the most relevant architecture firms in Spain are located in Barcelona and Madrid, but don't miss some excellent practices around Spain.
