IÑAKI BERGERA received his degree in Architecture (1997) and
PhD (2002) from the ETSAN (Spain). Funded by Fundación ‘la Caixa’, he graduated
with distinction from Harvard University in 2002 with a Masters Degree in
Architecture (MDesS). His PhD dissertation on the Spanish architect Rafael
Aburto was awarded and published by the Fundación Caja de Arquitectos
(Arquia/Tesis n.18, Barcelona, 2005) and awarded by the COAVN (2007).
He is Associate Professor at the School of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Zaragoza, having taught formerly at the ETSAN (1997-2007) and at the Universidad Europea in Madrid (2007-09). He has been a visiting teacher and guest critic at the London Architectural Association, Harvard GSD, TEC in Monterrey and the Schools of Architecture of the University of Arizona in Tucson, Bologna-Cesena, Lisbon Technical University and Antwerp.
In 2001 he studied photography at the Harvard School of Visual Arts with the British photographer Chris Killip. Ever since then, he has been passionately involved in photography both as practice and as scholarly endeavor, understanding architecture and photography as interdisciplinary parallel subjects. Along with that, his interest in contemporary urban and hybrid landscapes and buildings has lead him to produce an intensive and coherent photo work displayed in several solo and collective exhibitions.
He is principal of the Research Project "Photography and Modern Architecture in Spain 1925-65" sponsored by the 6th National Research Plan of the Spanish Government (2013-2016) and curated the homonymous exhibition held at the Museo ICO in Madrid (2014). He has edited and published several books and essays on journals like Arquitectura Viva, and lectured in more than 20 international conferences, being also guest editor for Columbia University Journal Future Anterior’s special issue on “Photography and Preservation” (2014). He has conducted research at the CCA in Montreal, the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the CCP in Tucson or Columbia University as Visiting Scholar.
In collaboration with Iñigo Beguiristain, he has received several architecture recognitions like the Chicago Athenaeum (2014), the COAVN Award in 2013 and 2010, the Saloni Award in 2006 –finalist in 2010 and 2007– and finalist of the FAD Awards in 2013 and 2010.
