PEDRO GARCÍA SÁEZ
I am an Architect and Photographer from Málaga, Spain. My passion for both fields runs parallel and transversely, living in a continuous learning process. In love with the world, and fan of changes, I’ve been living in Spain, Austria, USA, France, South Corea, and Bolivia, where I’ve been teaching architecture and photography. Currently settled in the south of Spain, I’m working on new upcoming projects.
