Javier Ferrándiz has led a varied career as an architect all around Catalonia. He is teaches and is involved in the promotion of Spanish architecture. Ferrándiz graduated in architecture from the ETSAB (School of Architecture of Barcelona.) In 1998, he became a professor at the Projects Chair Department. He also works as a consultant architect of the UPC on urban development for the city of l'Hospitalet (Barcelona). Some of his architectural projects are: the partial building of the area of Roc-Blanc in Terrassa, consisting of 1200 apartments (1988); the Alcanar high school (1992); the improvement of a kindergarten in Barcelona (nominated to the FAD awards in 1992); the La Farga shopping center in l'Hospitalet (1996); the Youth Hostel in Empúries (Girona, 2000); a sports center in Ordal (Barcelona, 2001); the Primary health care center in Ribes de Fresser (Girona, 2001); and the project for the Centro de Residuos of Aena at the Barcelona airport (2002). "Designing, imagining, drawing, reducing, making bigger, changing one's mind iron, glass, wood, stone a pan-head screw making a fresh start running away from the object that has trapped us: the thrill of inventing". This is, in Ferrándiz's words, the process that has led him to design the Rambla wastebasket, edited in 1993 by Santa & Cole, and a sign for camping areas for the Government de Catalunya. Ferrándiz has also promoted and written articles on architecture and urban design in many Spanish publications.
