Montserrat Periel

Architect - Barcelona

Montserrat Periel graduated as an architect from the Barcelona School of Architecture(ETSAB). Montserrat Periel has focused her professional career on urban planning, with the aspiration of building, transforming and innovating in terms of the city and public space.

From 1989 to 2005 she worked at the Department of Urban Projects of Barcelona City Council and from 2005 to 2019 at the Public Spaces Service of Barcelona Metropolitan Area. She is one of those responsible for the renewed urban identity of Barcelona. During these periods she carried out numerous interventions in public spaces of Barcelona: Plaça de la Catedral, Plaça Universitat, Avinguda del Paral.lel and Avinguda Meridiana. Other interventions include the Parc de Can Ginesta in Viladecans, the Plaça and Pasarel.la del Riu Sec in Cerdanyola, the Palau de Requesens gardens in Molins de Rei and the Parc de la Costeta in Begues.

The simplicity and utility of her work has been recognised with various architecture and interior design awards, such as: FAD Awards (1991, 2011), Spanish Biennial of Architecture BEAU (1991, 2011), Rosa Barba European Landscape Prize (2008, 2014 and 2016), Baix Llobregat Architecture Triennial (2008), Barcelona Architecture Exhibition (2016), Vallès Architecture Exhibition (2016), ADI-FAD Delta (1991, 2016) and the FAD Medal 1995.

From 1994 to 2009 Montserrat Periel was a lecturer in the bachelor’s and master’s degree in Street Furniture Design at the ELISAVA school and the University of Barcelona (1992). She also taught on Landscape Workshop IV at the UNAV School of Architecture (2006-2007). She complements her professional career and teaching activity by participating in conferences, round tables and courses on the city, urban planning and design.

Montserrat Periel has a global vision of the city, where she seeks to integrate her pieces into the environment, and we see this reflected in her designs for street furniture and urban space. She has always kept changing contexts in mind, contributing a point of view that is aimed towards the future and rooted in social aspirations. She is the author of the Línea railing (1993) and the Trapecio bench (2003).
