José Manuel López Peláez has died at 80 years of age. Chair of Design at the Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM), he was awarded Spain’s National Architecture Prize in 1971. He had a practice with Javier Frechilla, with whom he built works like the Cervantes Theater in Arnedo, the Heath Center in Pozuelo de Alarcón, and the Library of Rey Juan Carlos University in Móstoles. In 2005 they won the competition for the masterplan of Madrid’s Campus of Justice, a macroproject which was paralyzed in 2009.
