Salvador Moreno Peralta gives particular importance to the environment, technology and community life. He has undertaken most of his work in Andalusia, which includes prestigious projects like the Law Faculty in Malaga, the Larios and Málaga Nostrum shopping centres and the Melilla la Vieja fortress, in Melilla. For the latter project, he won the Europa Nostra award (1999), an annual prize awarded by the European Commision in recognition of works that contribute to Europe’s cultural and natural heritage.
An Architecture and Urban Planning graduate from the School of Architecture of Madrid, Salvador Moreno Peralta is a leading figure in Spanish urban planning. He is known for his interventions in Andalusia and particularly in Malaga, making valuable contributions to the Remodelling Plan for the Trinidad-Perchel neighbourhood (1979-2011) and the General Town Planning Project (1983), for which he won the national urbanism award.
In 1972, he founded his architecture studio SMP Arquitectos, focused on town planning and public space projects that require a holistic knowledge for addressing a broad range of needs.
As an urban planner, Salvador Moreno Peralta collaborated in the Trinidad-Perchel Remodelling Project (1979-2011), analysing and reinterpreting the housing typologies and studying the architecture in the area to mitigate the effect of the floods the neighbourhood suffers from. In parallel to this, he co-directed Malaga’s General Town Planning Project (PGOU) in 1983, alongside Damián Quero and José Seguí, which changed the city’s urbanscape and gave rise to the Malaga we know today. Moreno Peralta modernised the concept of the city, promoting the development of certain elements and protecting the city’s cultural heritage by preventing the demolition of the houses in the fishing village of Pedregalejo. In 1983, he won the national urbanism award for his role in the PGOU and the project for Malaga’s complete renovation. In the following years, the Malagan architect designed the Melilla Pavilion for the 2008 EXPO in Zaragoza and the Alei Centre in the Malaga TechPark in Andalusia.
In 2018, Salvador Moreno Peralta was commissioned with the remodelling project for the historic centre of Torremolinos, including the refurbishment of the Town Hall and a pedestrianised area that connects the Costa del Sol square and the Avenida Palma de Mallorca. He transformed 350 metres of roadway for wheeled vehicles into a pedestrian boulevard, thereby promoting outdoor recreation, as well as boosting the local economy and generating employment. From this urban planning project arose the need to design a pergola for the promenade, for which the Malagan architect collaborated with Urbidermis in the development of this iconic element of microarchitecture.
Today, Salvador Moreno Peralta’s focus lies on the urban transformation of Andalusia, promoting digitalisation, the role of nature and the balance between both these aspects for the area’s sustainable development.
Salvador Moreno Peralta is the creator of the Onda pergola (2020), a sculptural modular structure that provides shade during the day and light at nighttime.
