From Architectural Foundations to Transdisciplinary Praxis

 


Born in 1975, Anto Lloveras emerged as a multifaceted figure whose career trajectory bridges the structured world of architecture with the fluid, relational realms of contemporary art and curatorial experimentation. Trained as an architect at ETSAM in Madrid and holding an MSc in Advanced Architectural Design from Delft University of Technology, Lloveras began his professional journey in the early 2000s, collaborating on landmark projects that emphasized innovative urban living and spatial dynamics. His early involvement with the Dutch firm MVRDV exemplified this phase: as a member of the design team for the Mirador Building in Sanchinarro, Madrid (2002), he contributed to a revolutionary residential structure that stacked mini-neighborhoods vertically, culminating in a semi-public sky-plaza 40 meters high, fostering community interaction and panoramic views. This project, spanned 18,300 m² and housed 156 social housing units, blending bold geometry with social functionality at a budget of €10 million. By the mid-2000s, Lloveras's architectural legacy expanded through co-founding THE KIWI EXPERIENCE, where he collaborated with Alberto Sánchez-Cabezudo Blasco on workshop buildings. Competitions such as the Manzana Verde sustainable urbanism initiative in Málaga (2017) further highlighted his commitment to eco-conscious urban reform, proposing integrated residential and public spaces under the PERI framework. Similarly, the 11 Plazas Madrid project addressed peripheral urban regeneration, though specific attributions linked him through collaborative ties, such as proposals with sibling Paula Lloveras Caminos.
