Here’s the translation into English:

Dr. Architect (2013) and M.Arch from the Bartlett School of Architecture in London (2004), Iván Capdevila belongs to the first generation to complete his Architecture studies at the University of Alicante (1996-2003), where he has been a Professor of Architectural Projects since 2007 and Coordinator of the Area since 2022. He was the Coordinator of Final Architecture Projects from 2014 to 2020 at the UA and a Guest Professor at Soongsil University in Seoul, South Korea, in 2012 and at the University of Monterrey, Mexico, in 2024. He has combined his teaching activity with research, primarily through architectural competitions. With more than a dozen awards in international competitions, his five first prizes (2003, 2005, 2015, 2017, and 2019) in the prestigious Europan competition stand out. Europan is held biennially since 1988 in various locations across Europe. This has allowed him, in parallel, to both disseminate his work in specialized publications and exhibitions and participate in forums and conferences around the world. Iván understands architectural design as a game, mainly characterized by the association and unprejudiced manipulation (sometimes ironic, sometimes naïve, sometimes nostalgic, sometimes celebratory, but always playful) of images, events, myths, technologies... as well as architectural culture itself. With a current focus on discovering the Mediterranean condition in the domestic sphere and in the context of the Spanish Levante (since 2020), he develops his research activity primarily through practice, both in the design of single-family homes and collective housing buildings — through public competitions for social housing, having obtained 3 awards to date.
