Carme Pinós is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Carme Pinós as Spanish architect (born 1954).
Carme Pinós was born at Barcelona in 1954. Her recorded nationality is Spain. She trained at Escola Tècnica Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona and Polytechnic University of Catalonia.
Post-war architecture built at state scale: housing, new towns and civic megastructures, with results that are still being judged.
She is recorded as architect and product designer.
Among her best-known works are New Igualada Cemetery, CaixaForum Zaragoza and Massana School. Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
Recognition followed: Fernando García Mercadal Architecture Prize, FAD Awards, Vives University Network Medal of Honor and National Architecture Award of Spain.
That the work was built in Spain shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
