English architect, one of the most prominent representatives of contemporary English architecture. Born in Tudela (Navarra) in 1937 and studied at the School of Madrid (ETSAM) where he earned a degree in architecture in 1961.
In 1996 he was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, considered the world's largest award in this field.
is the author of internationally renowned works, among which are the following: the Bankinter Building in Madrid (1972-1976) and the Museum of Roman Art in Merida (1980-1986). More recently built railway station Atocha in Madrid (1984-1992). From 1998 is the Kursaal Auditorium in San Sebastian. Other works include the building diagonally in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe new terminal at San Pablo de Sevilla (1987-1991), the Miró Foundation in Palma de Mallorca (1987-1993), and the Museum of Art and Architecture in Stockholm ( draft 1991), a discontinuous and broken architecture that tries to adapt to the rugged terrain of the site.
Arguably one of the main characteristics of Rafael Moneo is using history as a building material.
