Cersaie 2025: Conferences and Seminars
Ángela García de Paredes

THU 25 September - 2.30 p.m.
Services Centre - "The Square"


Ángela García de Paredes co-founded the architectural practice Paredes Pedrosa Arquitectos together with Ignacio Pedrosa. Their approach reflects a deep commitment to ongoing architectural research, reflected in a shared design vision that informs both their teaching and practice.

Each project combines meticulous attention to detail with continuous experimentation in which time is envisioned as an element of transformation and growth within the architectural process. Starting from an abstract idea, their architecture evolves into a concrete form through a language of clean lines, natural light, and material minimalism that gives space its expressive power.

In June 2023, García de Paredes was inducted into the architecture section of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, Spain’s most prestigious cultural institution, delivering a speech entitled La arquitectura como interpretación (“Architecture as interpretation”).

It is this interpretive act that lies at the heart of Paredes Pedrosa’s design philosophy: every architectural project emerges from a profound dialogue with its location and landscape, blending harmoniously into its surroundings without imposing itself while delicately balancing past and present.
