studioVRA

studioVRA is an architectural practice led by Sonsoles Vela Navarro and Ruben Garcia Rubio that works at the intersection between architecture and urbanism. Their work has been awarded internationally with several distinctions by institutions like The Chicago Athenaeum (USA) or the Castile and Leon East Institute of Architects (Spain), architectural publications like The Plan Magazine (Italy) or Dezeen (UK), and architectural events like the Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (Spain) or the Quito Pan-American Biennial of Architecture (Ecuador). Also, their work has been published in professional publications such as Arquitectura Viva, Arquine, Arketipo, de Architect, or ERA21. Both combine professional practice with teaching and research. They have taught in several schools of architecture in Spain, Italy and the Middle East and, currently, they teach in the School of Architecture at Tulane University (New Orleans, USA).
