Sergio López-Piñeiro’s work focuses on the production of blank architecture. With its unparalleled capacity to accommodate any urban player’s desire, blank architecture can only be an enabler. However, due to its apparent lack of inherent ideological content, blank architecture remains constantly available for appropriation and is always on the verge of vanishing into excess. The development of this architectural proposition will be shown in his forthcoming book, The Enabler, published as the result of the work produced under his 2006-2007 Peter Reyner Banham Fellowship.
Assistant Professor Sergio López-Piñeiro received his Diploma in Architecture from ETS Arquitectura Madrid in 1998 and his MArch degree from Princeton University in 2004, where he was awarded with the Suzanne Kolarik Underwood Prize. He has previously worked as a designer at Foreign Office Architects (London, 2000-02) and at no.mad (Madrid, 1998-2000). Currently, he is a registered architect in Madrid and maintains an independent practice, Holes of Matter.
