GIORGIANA PADUREAN
ARCHITECT
Independent architect based in Barcelona, collaborating with architecture studios on design, representation, and new-build and rehabilitation projects.
Open to independent commissions and built work.
Selected projects
Design-driven work exploring spatial atmosphere, context, and representation.
Built Work & Professional Experience
Projects developed independently and in collaboration with architecture studios, including technical drawings and project development.
Services & Collaborations
I collaborate with architecture studios and independent practitioners, contributing across different phases of a project - from early design to technical development and execution. Alongside this, I undertake independent commissions, developing projects from concept to realization.

3D Modeling
& Representation
Development of spatial models, working renders, and visual outputs for design exploration, competitions, and presentations.
Renovations
& Small-Scale Interventions
Design development ideas, moodboards and material selection, spatial refinement for residential and venue renovations.
How I work
I integrate into existing teams or collaborate independently, adapting to different workflows and project requirements.
I can contribute at specific stages or throughout the entire process, from early concepts and competitions to detailed development and construction documentation.
Collaboration
I am particularly interested in collaborating with small to medium-sized architecture studios on competitions, early design phases, and projects involving existing buildings and rehabilitation, as well as contributing to executive phases of new-build projects and construction detailing.
I am available for both local collaborations in Barcelona and remote work.
If you’re interested in collaborating, feel free to get in touch.
About
About
I am an independent architect based in Barcelona, with a background shaped by international education at the Manchester School of Architecture and La Salle - Universitat Ramon Llull, where I completed the habilitating Master’s Degree in Architecture.
Over the past five years, I have collaborated on a range of architectural projects within multidisciplinary teams, developing an approach rooted in contextual awareness, material sensitivity, and technical precision.
I work independently and in collaboration with architecture studios, contributing across different phases of a project - from early design to executive development. My work spans architectural representation, drawing production, and material development, supporting both conceptual and built projects.
Approach
My work focuses on passive design strategies, interventions in existing buildings, and architecture that engages with its surroundings. I am particularly interested in projects that establish a meaningful dialogue between people, place, and environment.
I combine hand drawing with digital tools to explore and communicate design ideas, blending intuitive processes with technical development throughout the design process.
Representation & Process
I see drawing and diagrams as fundamental tools to think, communicate, and clarify architecture. They are not only part of my creative method, but also a way to make projects more accessible—helping translate ideas into spaces that can be shared, understood, and built.
Contact
I am open to collaborations with architecture studios and independent practitioners, as well as independent commissions.
