Gabriel Aranda Morales
Architect and Founder of Glomad, Office of Architecture | MArch | MSc
​
I am an architect working across architecture, urban design and master planning in Europe and Latin America. My practice brings together design and research-led approaches to the built environment, addressing contemporary urban challenges through a critical and context-sensitive lens.
​
My work focuses on sustainable construction, environmental performance and the creation of healthier cities. I am particularly interested in the relationship between architecture, urban form and air quality, and in how design can contribute to more resilient and liveable environments.
​
I hold an MSc in Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering from Delft University of Technology and Wageningen University & Research. My research examined the impact of high-rise construction on air pollution, as well as the potential of bio-based building systems within dense urban contexts.
​
With a Mexican–Spanish background, I have lived in Barcelona, Istanbul and TimiÈ™oara, and I am currently based in Rotterdam. This international experience informs my approach, where diverse cultural perspectives and technical knowledge come together to shape thoughtful, context-driven design.
