Roser Amadó was born in Barcelona in 1944. She studied at the School of Architecture of Barcelona (ETSAB), from which she got her degree in 1968. From that moment, she shared her architecture studio with Lluis Doménech Girbau, with whom she has carried out numerous rehabilitations, housing, equipment and cultural buildings, such as the Cap Pont University Faculty in Lleida and the Tàpies Foundation in Barcelona. Currently both are part of B01 arquitectes, studio which stands out for its commitment to sustainable architecture.
Their work maintains the rigor both at the urban scale and in the technical executions, for which they have obtained recognition at both levels: in 1985 she receives with her partner the National Urban Planning Prize for their Historic Downtown Plan of Lleida, as well as the First Construmat Prize for their project of social housing in the Rec Comtal. The team brings a special interest in the relationship between architecture and city, between architecture and nature, as well as in interior design.
In the early seventies, Roser Amado directed the magazine "Nuevo Ambiente".
In 1980, both partners were part of the team that wrote the Plan of the Historical Center of Lleida, which brought them international recognition and the National Prize of Urbanism of 1985. They developed the central projects of the Plan together with Ramon Domènech as a builder. The project covers several scales, linking toghether architecture and urban context, and among other contributions, it transforms the neighborhood and eases the ascent to La Seo, one of the most important Gothic buildings in Catalonia.
Later, they intervened in several works of the modernist architect Domènech i Montaner. In this context, they received the first Decada prize (2000) for the reconversion of the Montaner i Simón publishing house in the Antoni Tàpies Foundation. Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown were part of the jury. Other projects in Barcelona allow them to intervene in the urban fabric of Ciutat Vella and the Ensanche de Cerdà.
With the beginning of the new century, the studio incorporates Sander Laudy, Carles Cortadas and Laura Pérez, to form B01 arquitectes. The study lends special dedication to the field of sustainability, they carry out rigorous researchs and innovation projects in the field of new technologies and materials, among which the DOM prefabrication system stands out. B01 is a member of the Green Building Council Spain and it has an accredited LEED-Green evaluator on its team.
