Eduardo Arroyo graduated in 1988 from the Escuela Tecnica Superior de Arquitectura of Madrid, where he lives, works and teaches (ETSAM since 1996). His work, in his No.MAD Arquitectura agency, is mainly focused on city planning, and the planning and architecture of urban structures (residential areas, university, sporting and administrative complexes, etc.). He worked with the Office for Metropolitan Architecture [OMA] [cf.] in the very early 1990s (Kunsthal Congrexpo), but does not actually conceive of architecture outside an overall line of thinking not only about the city, but, beyond it, about the territory itself, on a geographical scale. The distinctive feature of the No.MAD Arquitectura approach has to do with the project-based methods which Arroyo is gradually introducing and putting into practice in order to connect all these spatial scales together, and convey their logic and their respective complexity. Through a method of successive hybridization, the architecture of the most private of spaces--the home--is informed and deformed, with neither breaks nor conflicts, by the processes of long-term change in both landscape and territory.
