18/03/2024
Recently, we participated in an interview with Classpaper, a magazine recognized for its focus on culture, lifestyle and luxury. In this interview, Fran Silvestre shared the studio’s experiences and thoughts on the creative process behind architectural projects, offering an intimate look at design principles and how each new challenge is approached.
Classpaper magazine focuses on lifestyle, culture, and luxury. It is a quarterly publication designed for a discerning audience with an interest in high quality content in both print and digital versions. Classpaper’s website complements its print edition by offering daily updated content, aimed at those seeking information and news in the luxury and culture field.
According to Classpaper “In architecture, the most important thing is to know how to build. This may seem obvious, if it were not for the fact that it is about building in every sense. Fran Silvestre (Valencia, July 5, 1976) has been applying this doctrine to learn how to create an environment for everyday life that elevates out of the ordinary. Such is his perseverance, that his studio, Fran Silvestre Arquitectos (in Valencia), in less than 20 years has managed to establish itself as a national reference.
In 2012, the Ministry of Culture and Sports chose him as ambassador of Spanish Architecture in the United States with the Spain Arts and Culture program. At the same time, outside Spain he has also managed to stand out: he has been awarded four times by the German Ministry of Economics and Technology and in 2024 with the German Design Award, among many other distinctions. It is even the brand that accumulates the largest global audience on Instagram and Facebook with a total of 4.1 million followers, according to a study by the consulting firm Welov. We spoke with the architect to learn about his way of working and living architecture.”
