About Me

Hej everyone! My name is Victor and I grew up in a suburb of Barcelona. Growing there wasn't very exciting at first, but my friends and I quickly developed stimulating ways to spend our time. Through the years we got pretty creative and adventure has repeatedly hit us. Now we are a little older but we still keep that spirit (-:

I chose to study architecture from a very early age. I've always been impressed by the presence and mass of certain buildings, specially those of ancient times. What started as a child fascination has become now my passion and work. Architecture is influenced by as many fields as one might want to consider, so I know it will sound a little bit silly, but I'm interested in mostly everything as soon as a person starts to talk about what she or he does as a way of life.

During my studies I did an exchange semester in Stockholm, Sweden. It was the first time I got out of my comfort zone and it felt amazing. After Sweden I moved to Switzerland and what started as a semester internship ended up in me living there for two years. So I got to graduate very recently, 11 years after I started. A slow but intense learning process.

During the past I've travelled most of Western Europe and a couple of African countries, sometimes hitchhiking sometimes with public transport. Sometimes alone but mostly with company. I enjoy both. Both have something to teach me.

Music came to me pretty late, when I was 15, but it hit me hard. I've been in bands most of these years, within a very different spectrum. I don't know why but it all ended up in electronic ambient music, although I enjoy 99% of the music.

Interests

I like to get lost in cities I've never been before. I especially like to do that at sunset, accompanying the city to the nighttime.
I like to create things, objects that have a common use. Things for me or for the people I love. Especially things out of wood that I can carve or assemble myself.
I like to spend time with my friends and my flatmates. I like to dumpster-dive with them, share the cooking and meals and to go out.
