We are a versatile and flexible team that works with professionals from different fields to develop projects tailored to the specific needs of each situation, actively working with the inhabitants of the places and spaces we design.
NUA is directed by Arnau Tiñena, who has a degree in architecture from ETSAB (2010) and a research master’s degree in urban development from UPC (2017) and Ferran Tiñena, who has a degree in architecture from ETSAB (2011) and a research master’s degree in urban development from UPC (2017). The three earned their degrees with the highest honours and supplemented their training at European schools of architecture (Ljubljana and Venice). Arnau and Ferran combine their practice with research and teaching. They are currently teachers of Architecture and Urban Design at the Reus School of Architecture (EAR). They explore the dynamics of the territorial scale and urban design through their Ph.D. research.

December 2024
After more than ten years co-directing NUA, we are opening up new ways of collaborating.
Maria is embarking on a new path: you can follow her work and projects at @mariariusruiz.
 Arnau and Ferran will continue from NUA arquitectures. We are deeply grateful and proud of everything we’ve shared over these years. Thank you for joining us in this new chapter!
