Jose Ahedo will deliver the 2024 Ruth and Norman Moore Visiting Professor of Architecture Lecture as part of the Sam Fox School’s Public Lecture Series at WashU.

Ahedo established his own firm, StudioAhedo, in 2010. His first completed project was Blanca, a dairy complex consisting of thirteen buildings in the Pyrenees. The complex includes animal facilities, research genetic labs, as well as an education center.

His practice aims to clarify the current challenges faced by various farming communities and looks for opportunities for designers to take action in one of the most uneven economic sectors.

Speaker Information

Jose Ahedo’s design portfolio is diverse. From residential projects to graphic design, branding, and even hardware and user interface development, his work spans a wide spectrum of design disciplines.

In 2014, his research project titled “Domesticated Grounds: Design and Domesticity Within Animal Farming Systems” won the Wheelwright Prize from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. This research involved traveling to remote rural areas on four continents to interview hundreds of families, scientists, and policymakers. The focus was on investigating the design and material systems related to animal farming operations.

Ahedo earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture in Barcelona in 2005 and a Master of Architecture II from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 2010. He was born in northern Spain in 1980.
