Pablo Gil

I am an architect with 13 years postgraduate experience as a practitioner. After graduating in the Bartlett I worked for Andrés Perea, David Chipperfield Architects, Richard Rogers Partnership and Yael Reisner Architects, then started a company called GilBartolome Architectural Design Workshop with Jaime Bartolomé.
I am lately interested in the application of robotics to architecture and the analysis of animal organs to develop innovative dynamic systems in architecture. I am also very interested in neurophysiology of art, on the way in which humans perceive animals, on Paleolithic art and on the role of the Paleolithic cave as the first form of architecture. These interests led to a PhD in the Bartlett School of Architecture.

I also teach architecture at Univerisdad Europea de Madrid. Before I have taught in London Metropolitan University and Instituto Empresa. My recent project the House on the Cliff has been published globally both in architecture journals, newspapers, televisions and WWW media. I have recently completed two projects for a 30M per year airport in Pakistan and a large cargo terminal that are under construction.
