SONIA HERNÁNDEZ MONTAÑO
Founder of the project Healthy Architecture, dating back to when she was a kid and already wanted to be an architect. Seems magical (and powerful) to imagine and realize the spaces where life develops.
When she completed her official studies at the EtsaB, together with the experience of working for a year in the Studio of Frank Gehry in L.A., she needed to fill a major gap to realize that architecture vision that she had learned and worked until then (aesthetics + function) did not match the idea she had.
In 2007 she started a process of learning from different knowledge by very different paths that have led me to where I wanted: to understand all the principles that affect the correct composition of a space, to learn that its global setting influences the life of who inhabits them, and to control these factors to create spaces that will ensure health, happiness, commitment and vitality in users.
