Vicente Guallart is the former chief architect of the city of Barcelona, and founder of Guallart Architects (1993) and the Institute of Advanced Architecture in Catalunya (2001). Guallart is a pioneer of the interaction between nature, technology, urban planning and architecture. Innovative hybrid projects include Sociópolis (Valencia, Spain): a housing project where 1000 year old canals water a hi-tech sociopolis, and Sharing Blocks (Gandia, Spain): A student residence which melds with social housing for senior citizens with a civic and social centre for the town council. He was also the first General Director of Urban Habitat, a new department encompassing the areas of Environment, Infrastructures, Urban Planning, and Information Technologies. Guallart has won numerous awards for his innovative and collaborative work.
