José Ramón Tramoyeres

Architect (ETSAV, AA London), partner and director of ggstudio in Valencia. Parametric design, digital fabrication and reversible architecture; designer of the DRAC Pavilion.

José Ramón Tramoyeres graduated in architecture from the Valencia School of Architecture (Universitat Politècnica de València) and holds a Master of Architecture from the Architectural Association in London (2007). After working at Zaha Hadid's office in London and Santiago Calatrava's in Valencia, in 2008 he co-founded Green Geometries Laboratory (GGlab) with Andrés Arias and Sangyup Lee, an international platform devoted to the relationship between advanced geometry, digital tools, sustainability and fabrication.

In 2015 he founded ggarchitects with Javier Cortina; today the two lead ggstudio, based in Valencia with a presence in Guadalajara, Mexico. The studio works in housing, hospitality, renovation and cultural infrastructure, through a practice that addresses architecture, strategy and technology together, and in which research into parametric design and digital fabrication has been present from the outset.

His projects include the Noor restaurant in Córdoba for chef Paco Morales —named best restaurant at the 2016 Fuera de Serie Design and Innovation Awards—, which reinterprets the mechanisms of Andalusian architecture through parametric tools and custom ceramics; the Serawa hotel in Alicante, the renovation of a building from 1900; Quique Dacosta's creative lab; and the design of 212 social housing units across six towns in Cantabria. In 2026 he designed, with Javier Cortina, DRAC, the Spanish Design Pavilion in Frankfurt promoted by ICEX: a demountable, reusable timber and ceramic architecture that understands Gaudí as a method rather than a style.

He has developed a sustained teaching and knowledge-transfer activity in algorithmic design, modelling and digital fabrication, with workshops and collaborations at EASD València and the University of Guadalajara, Mexico. His work builds methods that can be transferred between architecture, technology, fabrication and culture, and reads historical references —from al-Andalus to Gaudí— as systems to be reinterpreted rather than formal repertoires to be repeated.
