Marta Fernández Alonso leads architectural rehabilitation and urban design projects from her practice in Spain, specializing in historical structure restoration and public space transformation. Her portfolio includes the restoration of the Pabellón de España from Expo '92 and the redesign of Plaza de la Cebada. She combines professional practice with academic research through Cátedra Blanca, where her final degree projects explored theoretical frameworks for urban intervention. The Solar Decathlon competition features her work among its selected entries, demonstrating her focus on sustainable design principles and innovative spatial solutions. Her involvement extends to Concéntrico, the International Festival of Architecture and Design of Logroño, where she contributes to experimental urban installations. These platforms showcase her integration of architectural preservation with contemporary design methodologies. Her architectural practice synthesizes three core areas: historical building rehabilitation, public space transformation, and theoretical research. Through project documentation and festival participation, she contributes to ongoing dialogues about urban development, spatial design, and architectural preservation. Her work forms part of Spain's contemporary architectural discourse on adaptive reuse and public space activation.
