G A P is a young and proactive company founded by Carles Pastor Foz and Albert Albareda Valls.
Carles Pastor Foz. Architect - Founder & Partner. Architecture Bachelor Degree by the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB) from the Tech University of Catalonia (UPC) along with an MBA + Architecture (Master in Architectural Management and Design) by IE Business school. After several professional experiences in different studios in Barcelona such as EMBT, Mora & Sanvisens arquitectes and Xavier Güell arq., I started working at the family office, Pastor & Associats, that I left to found GAP in 2013. Before that, in 2009 I co-founded VISITARQ, an online architectural guide, and in 2013 we create AIRSUITE, an innovative accommodation service. I enjoy building nice things and opportunities, that generate some positive value, an impulse that I try to reflect to my daily routine and relations.
