Puigjaner unites theory and practice by combining academic, research, and editorial work with the professional activity of MAIO, co-founded in 2012. Recent projects include “110 Rooms”—a 22-unit innovative housing block in Barcelona—and a series of exhibition designs for the Milan Furniture Fair and the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, among others. With a particular interest in developing new models of collective housing, Puigjaner won the prestigious Wheelwright Prize in 2016 for the proposal Kitchenless City: Architectural Systems for Social Welfare.
