The Principals

Juan Miró, FAIA LEED AP

Juan Miró was born in Barcelona and obtained his professional degree at the Escuela de Arquitectura of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. In 1989 he earned a Fulbright Scholarship to complete a post-professional Master’s degree at Yale University, where he was awarded the William Edward Parsons Memorial Medal. He has been a licensed architect in Spain since 1988 and is a registered architect in the states of Texas and New York.

Prior to forming Miró Rivera Architects, Juan Miró worked in New York City from 1991-1996 at Gwathmey Siegel and Associates, and in Spain with his father Antonio Miró, Fernando Higueras, Felix Candela and Santiago Calatrava on a wide range of projects.

Juan is a Professor at the School of Architecture of the University of Texas at Austin. He teaches design, construction, and Mexican architecture. In his teaching, practice, and research he explores his interests in the role of the architectural profession in civic life, the relationship between the manmade and Nature, and the relevance of history for designers.

Juan Miró is an active member of the American Institute of Architects and has served as a juror for many AIA design award competitions at the national, state, and local levels. In 2011, Juan was elevated to the organization's College of Fellows in recognition of his contributions to the profession and to society.
Miguel Rivera, AIA LEED AP

Miguel Rivera was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and obtained his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Puerto Rico School of Architecture. He earned his Master of Architecture from Columbia University, in New York.

In 2005, Miguel was awarded the AIA National Young Architect Award. Miguel is an active member of the American Institute of Architects and the Texas Society of Architects (TSA). He has served on AIA design awards juries in New York City, Colorado, Chicago and Alabama and was a juror for the Bi-Annual design awards for the Colegio de Arquitectos of Puerto Rico.

Miguel has lectured at The Universities of Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, Veracruz, Tennessee, Buffalo, Louisiana, Munich and UNAM in Mexico. His work has been published in several books and numerous publications including Architectural Record and the New York Times and has been exhibited in Berlin, Venice Architectural Biennale and at the Hostos Art Gallery in New York City.

Before forming Miró Rivera Architects with Juan Miró in 2000, he was an associate at Mitchell/Giurgola Architects in New York City (1991-2000), where he was involved in many award-winning large-scale, institutional projects.
Rosa Rivera

Rosa M. Rivera received her B.A. from Barnard College at Columbia University and her M.A. from the University of Texas at Austin.
