PROFFESIONAL PORTFOLIO
Juan Pablo Moya Álvarez - Architect, 30.
Heredia, Costa Rica
Space is never static, architecture either. This vision always seemed a powerful tool to impact on people's happiness.
There is a constant friction between beings and feelings and that is where the magic happen: making it appear that architecture is absent in this exchange, but at the same time containing everything with a lightness and vibration that maintains the intonation with the environment, the shapes and the cultures.
January 1993. Juan Pablo was a quiet child with great influence of his grandfather in his first years of life. With him, he acquired a taste for drawing, craftsmanship and empirical construction. Values and basic passions in his personality and interests for life.
It was in architecture where all his passions flowed. In 2011, he began his undergraduate studies at the University of Costa Rica, an institution worthy of the Costa Rican state, where he developed his intrigue for airports, public transport, citizens' rights, and the powerful idea of attracting capital to his country.
Since 2016, he has worked for one of the most prestigious design studios in his country, where he has focused on the design of around 50 luxury homes, mainly in the center, and the central and northern pacific of the country.
In 2018, he founded BE architects as an initiative that seeks to be critical of the ways of living, moving and attracting capital in Costa Rica.
At the same time, he works at the University of Costa Rica as a consultant architect, developing works of great benefit for higher education.
Due to the urgent needs of Costa Rica in the 21st century, his professional career now focuses on specialization in public transportation, large scale works and tactical urbanism, as a way to diversify his taste for architecture and for the specific design, and combine it with actions that promote the construction of green Costa Rica as expected.
